Starting DiagTools Installing and Setting Up DiagTools Installing and Setting Up DiagTools There are two ways to run DiagTools - from a floppy diskette or from the hard disk drive (the F10 method). All HP notebook PCs have the capability to run DiagTools from a floppy diskette, and some of these notebook computers have the option to run DiagTools from the hard disk drive. • Floppy Diskette Method The PC boots (or starts) from the floppy diskette. However, first you must create a DiagTools floppy diskette from the World Wide Web or locally from your hard disk or Recovery CD. • Hard Disk Drive Method (the F10 method) If your computer supports this method, you press F10 during start up. Also, you need a special utility to view and retrieve the support ticket. Note DiagTools must not be run directly from your operating system. DiagTools will function correctly only under the DOS operating system and once the correct drivers have been loaded.
