Installing and Setting Up DiagTools
There are two ways to run DiagTools – from a floppy diskette or from the hard disk
drive (the F10 method). All HP notebook PCs have the capability to run DiagTools
from a floppy diskette, and some of these notebook computers have the option to
run DiagTools from the hard disk drive.
• Floppy Diskette Method
The PC boots (or starts) from the floppy diskette. However, first you must create
a DiagTools floppy diskette from the World Wide Web or locally from your hard
disk or Recovery CD.
• Hard Disk Drive Method (the F10 method)
If your computer supports this method, you press F10 during start up. Also, you
need a special utility to view and retrieve the support ticket.
Note DiagTools must not be run directly from your operating system. DiagTools will
function correctly only under the DOS operating system and once the correct
drivers have been loaded.
