Command Line Options

To enter PC-Doctor commands:

Note: Before beginning, ensure that Suspend Timer is disabled in the

Setup Utility.

1. Install the Diagnostics and Utilities CD in the CD/DVD-ROM drive.

2. Power-off, then power-on the system unit.

3. Do not press F1 during POST.

4. If any POST errors appear after POST, make a note of the errors and

press the Esc key.

5. When the “Aptiva Diagnostics and Utilities Menu” screen is displayed,

type: zero for a DOS prompt, then change the DOS prompt to G: or the

drive letter designated for the CD/DVD-ROM.

6. Type CD\PCDR to get the the PCDR directory.

7. Type PCDR/XX (where /XX represents one of the following from the list

below) then press Enter.

Command Action

/AN Enables automatic testlog numbering. A sequential number

will be added to testlogs automatically. This number is stored

in the file PCDR.NUM, which can be edited using the text

editor. PC-Doctor will automatically add a testlog number if the

file PCDR.NUM exists. To disable this feature, you must

delete the PCDR.NUM file.

/BA:xx Start batch mode testing of overlay number "xx". The overlay

number must be in the range of 1- 10. For this switch to be

useful, it should be combined with the "/PR:nnnn" switch and

possibly also the /EO and /HE switches. At the end of batch

mode testing, PC-Doctor returns with an ERRORLEVEL that is

set to 0 for no errors, 1 if any tests failed, or 2 if testing was

aborted.

/DJ Direct Joystick I/O. This will force PC-Doctor to read joystick

status and position directly from the hardware.

/EO Log error only. If selected, PC-Doctor will only log tests that

produce a FAILED result. You can use this switch to bypass

PASSED and N/A test results in order to produce shorter test

logs.

/HE Enables halt-on-errors mode. If PC-Doctor encounters a failed

diagnostic test, it asks the user if it should continue or abort

testing.
