Compaq Diagnostics for Windows NT
Computer Checkup (TEST) and View System Information (INSPECT) are

bootable diagnostics diskette. Refer to the section “Creating a Diagnostics
Diskette” in this chapter for instructions.
Compaq Diagnostics for Windows NT is discussed in Chapter 3.
Computer Checkup (TEST)
NOTE
: Computer Checkup will detect Compaq hardware. Devices from other
manufacturers may not be detected.
Use Computer Checkup (TEST) in the following instances:
■
To determine if all the devices installed on the workstation are
recognized by the system and functioning properly. Running TEST is
optional but recommended after installing or connecting a new device.
■
To save, print, or display the information generated by TEST. You
should run TEST and have the printed report available before placing a
call to the Compaq Customer Support Center.
■
To assist your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider in
analyzing the system by allowing the service provider to reproduce the
same environment on another workstation for testing.
For information on using TEST, see the section “Using Computer Checkup
(TEST) or View System Information (INSPECT)” in this chapter.
