contains all the files necessary for running DiagTools.

The User’s Guide for DiagTools – the document you are reading. It is a PDF file

Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free of charge from HP’s World Wide Web

Creating the DiagTools Floppy Diskette Locally

Depending on your notebook computer software, you may be able to create the
DiagTools floppy diskette locally. After inserting a formatted floppy diskette in the
floppy drive, do one of the following to create an DiagTools floppy diskette:

On an HP notebook computer with a factory software installation, run

diaginst

if it is present in the \Dmi\Hpdiags directory on the hard disk. To do this in
Windows, double-click the file.
–or–
For an HP notebook PC with TopTools installed, check whether the DiagTools
tab can create the diskette.

On any computer with a CD-ROM drive, run

diaginst if it is present in the

Drivers\Hputils or Dmi\Hpdiags directory on the Recovery CD that came with
the notebook PC. To do this in Windows, double-click the file.
