Changing the startup sequence to start from the CD If your computer does not start from the CD on the first try, you need to change your startup sequence in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Follow these steps to change the startup sequence: 1. Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on when you start this procedure, you must shut down the operating system, turn off the computer, wait a few seconds until all in-use lights go off, and restart the computer. (Do not use Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the computer.) 2. When the Configuration/Setup Utility prompt appears in the lower-left corner of the screen during startup, press F1. (This prompt appears on the screen for only a few seconds. You must press F1 quickly.) 3. Select Start Options from the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu. 4. Select Startup Sequence from the Start Options menu. 5. Note the first startup device shown in the Primary Startup Sequence. You will need this information to restore your original startup sequence after you complete the recovery process. 6. Change your First Startup Device in the Primary Startup Sequence to the CD-ROM drive. 7. Press the Esc key until you return to the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu. 8. Before you exit from the program, select Save Settings from the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu and press the Enter key. 9. Turn off your computer. Note: Remember to restore your original startup sequence when you have finished using the CD. IBM Enhanced Diagnostics IBM provides programs that you can run to diagnose hardware and some software problems. Several utility programs that provide helpful information about your computer are also included. The user interface for running these diagnostic and utility programs is provided by PC-Doctor. The IBM Enhanced Diagnostics program will isolate your computer hardware from software that was preinstalled (or that you have installed) on your hard disk. The programs run independently of the operating system, and must be run either from CD or diskette. This method of testing is generally used when other methods are not accessible or have not been successful in isolating a problem suspected to be hardware related. Chapter 6. Troubleshooting 109
