Creating a Diagnostics Bootable Diskette
The Diagnostics and Utilities CD allows you to create a bootable advanced
diagnostics diskette. This permits the flexibility of loading the diagnostics
program from either the CD-ROM drive or the Diskette drive.
Note: Because of the expanded options of the Service Level A Diagnostics
CD, the preferred way of running the diagnostics is from the CD. Use the
diagnostics on the diskette if the CD-ROM unit is inoperable.
To create a bootable diagnostics diskette:
1. Install the Diagnostics and Utilities CD in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Power-off, then power-on the system unit.
3. Do not press F1 during POST.
4. When the Aptiva Diagnostics and Utilities Menu appears, depress the
zero key to select the DOS screen. The A: drive prompt will appear.
5. Select the CD drive (the CD drive default is G:).
6. Select the DIAGNOST and IMAGE directories by typing:
CD\DIAGNOST\IMAGE and press enter.
7. Install a blank 1.44 KB diskette in diskette drive A.
Note: The diskette does not need to be formatted.
8. Type: LOADDSKF DIAGDISK.DSK B: and press enter. (At this point,
the diskette drive is B:).
9. There will appear on the screen a statement that the diskette is about to
be overwritten. Make sure the diskette in drive A is the one you want to
use, then answer Y.
Attention
This procedure will overwrite all data on the diskette in drive A.
10. After the copy is finished, you will have a bootable advanced diagnostics
diskette.
To Load the Diagnostics Diskette:
Note: Before beginning, ensure that Rapid Resume is disabled in the Setup
Utility. This Service Level A Diagnostics will not support Low Level format.
1. Power-off the system unit.
2. Install the diagnostics diskette in drive A.
3. Power-on the system unit.
4. Do not press F1 during POST.
5. If any POST errors appear after POST, make a note of the errors and
press the Esc key.
