Starting DiagTools from a Floppy Diskette
Once you have created the diskette, you can start the DiagTools. To do this:
1. Insert the diskette into the flexible disk drive.
2. Quit all applications, shut down the operating system, and restart your PC. To
do this in Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 98, click the Start button
then select Shut Down – Restart PC.
3. The PC will then start from the diskette. After loading the system files, it will
decompress the necessary files. Then OmniBook DiagTools will start
automatically, displaying the Welcome screen (refer to page 1-8).
You may experience one of the following problems:
PC does not boot (start) from the diskette.
This happens when the PC ignores the diskette and starts from the hard disk drive as
normal, running your operating system. The problem could be:
•
The BIOS Setup program of your PC may not be correctly configured. Ensure
that the option to start from the flexible disk is enabled and that it is the first
boot device. (Refer to “More Information About the PC’s Setup Program” on
page 1-5.)
•
There may be problem with the flexible disk drive or the internal cable
connections. Contact your local or HP-dedicated support agent.
A message such as Non-System disk or disk error. Replace and press any key
when ready appears when the PC starts.
This means that the PC cannot find the system files on the diskette. The problem
could be:
•
The diskette may be damaged or corrupted. Select another diskette and create
another DiagTools diskette (refer to page 1-2).
