preinstalled on your computer to help you diagnose computer problems:

v

Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox or Lenovo System Toolbox, depending on your
operating system (used when you are running the Windows operating system)

v

PC-Doctor for Rescue and Recovery (used when your Windows operating
system does not start)

Notes:

You can also download the PC-Doctor for DOS diagnostic program from
http://www.lenovo.com/support. See “PC-Doctor for DOS” on page 70 for

If you are unable to isolate and repair the problem yourself after running the
diagnostic programs, save and print the log files created by the diagnostic
programs. You will need the log files when you speak to a Lenovo technical
support representative.
