To create a diagnostic floppy disk

If your computer doesn’t support running the diagnostics by pressing F10 during reboot, you can run the diagnostics by booting from a diagnostic floppy disk.

After inserting a formatted floppy disk in the floppy drive, do one of the following to create a diagnostic floppy disk:

∙Check the C:\Dmi\Hpdiags directory. If diaginst is in this directory, double-click it. –or–

If HP TopTools is installed, check the DiagTools page to see if it can create the disk.

∙On any computer with World Wide Web access, download the diagnostic software package from the HP Customer Care website (http://www.hp.com/cposupport/eschome.html), and follow the instructions.

To run the diagnostics from the floppy disk, insert the disk in the floppy drive and reboot the OmniBook. If you create a Support Ticket, it is saved on the diagnostic floppy disk. Remove the floppy disk just before you exit the diagnostics program.
