IBM 2142, 2140 manual Hard Disk Drive Boot Error, Nomouse

Command

Action

/ID:nnnn

Adds the text string "nnnn" to the top of the

test log for

identification purposes. If you want to use

spaces

in

the

text

string,

you

must

encapsulate

the

entire

statement

starting

with

the /ID: in quotes; for example: PCDR /HE "/ID:This string has

spaces"

/ST

/MS:xx

Runs a batch-mode Maximum System Load Test for "xx"

minutes. The

number

of

minutes must

be

in

the

range

of

2

to

9999.

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.

/NN

Disables checking for network cards. Use this

switch if

the

system hangs while checking for network cards.

/NOMOUSE

Disables

the

mouse.

/NP

No prompting. Use this switch with the /BA:xx

switch

to

bypass prompting for serial and parallel port loopback tests.

/NS

Disables checking for sound cards.

/NSC

Disables checking for SCSI cards.

/NV

Bypasses

virus

test.

/PC:xx

Set

the

pass

count

to

"xx". The

number

of

passes

must

be

in

the

range

of 1 to 9999. PC-Doctor

repeats diagnostic

tests

for

the indicated number of passes.

/PR:nnnn

Send

test

log

output

to a

file

"nnnn"

or

to

a

device. The

name

of

a

file

can

include

a

path;

for

example "C:\TESTLOG.TXT"

or

a device,

"PRN".

/ST

Enables

all

hardware

checking. When

this

switch

is

enabled,

all equipment that has a known hardware

bug

will show

"failed"

after testing. If a hardware bug is found when this switch is

enabled,

it

does

not

mean

the equipment

is

defective. Rather,

the hardware in question might contain a

bug

which

does

not

hinder

its

performance.
