Troubleshooting Testing the Operation Testing the Operation The OmniBook hardware diagnostic program provides two levels of testing: • Automated testing using the basic hardware test. • Advanced testing using the individual hardware tests. The tests are designed to run after the system reboots. This ensures that the computer will be in a predictable state, so the diagnostic program can properly test the hardware components. The tests are non-destructive and are intended to preserve the state of the computer. The OmniBook reboots when you exit the program so drivers can be loaded. To create 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: • On an OmniBook with a factory software installation, run diaginst from the \Dmi\Hpdiags directory on the hard disk. -or- If HP TopTools is installed, use the DiagTools page to create the disk. • On any computer with a CD-ROM drive, run diaginst from the \Omnibook\Drivers\Hputils directory on the Recovery CD. • On any computer with World Wide Web access, download the diagnostic software package from the OmniBook website (http://www.hp.com/omnibook), run this file to unpack the files, then run diaginst to create the diagnostic disk. 7-15

Testing the Operation
The OmniBook hardware diagnostic program provides two levels of testing:
•
Automated testing using the basic hardware test.
•
Advanced testing using the individual hardware tests.
The tests are designed to run after the system reboots. This ensures that the computer
will be in a predictable state, so the diagnostic program can properly test the
hardware components. The tests are non-destructive and are intended to preserve
the state of the computer. The OmniBook reboots when you exit the program so
drivers can be loaded.
To create 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:
•
On an OmniBook with a factory software installation, run
from the
\Dmi\Hpdiags directory on the hard disk.
–or–
If HP TopTools is installed, use the DiagTools page to create the disk.
•
On any computer with a CD-ROM drive, run
from the
\Omnibook\Drivers\Hputils directory on the
Recovery CD
.
•
On any computer with World Wide Web access, download the diagnostic
software package from the OmniBook website (http://www.hp.com/omnibook),
run this file to unpack the files, then run
to create the diagnostic disk.
