Warning Messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and asks you to do something before execution
continues. For example, before you format a diskette, a message may warn you that you may lose all data on
the diskette as a way to protect against inadvertently erasing or writing over the data. These warning
messages usually interrupt the procedure and require you to respond by typing a y (yes) or n (no).

NOTE: Warning messages are generated by either your application programs or your operating
system. See "

Software Checks

" and the documentation that accompanied your operating system and

application programs.

Diagnostics Messages

When you run a test group or subtest in the

Dell Diagnostics

, an error message may result. These particular

error messages are not covered in this section. Record the message on a copy of the

Diagnostics Checklist

.
