Creating a diagnostic CD/DVD image To create a diagnostic CD/DVD image, download a self-starting bootable CD/DVD image (known as an ISO image) of the diagnostic program from http://www.lenovo.com/support After you download the image, you can create the CD/DVD using any CD/DVD burning software. Running diagnostics from the disc To run diagnostics from the diagnostic CD/DVD image that you created, do the following: 1. Make sure the computer is turned off. 2. Insert the disc into the optical drive. 3. Restart the computer. Note: If the diagnostic program does not start, you might not have your optical drive set as a startable device. See "Selecting a startup device" on page 51 for instructions on how to change the startup device. 4. When the diagnostics program opens, follow the instructions on the screen. 5. When the program finishes, be sure to remove the disc from the drive. 6. Select the diagnostic test you want to run. Press the F1 key for additional help. Navigating through the diagnostics programs Use the cursor movement keys to navigate within the menus. v The Enter key is used to select a menu item. v The Esc key is used to back up to the previous menu. v For online help select F1. Running tests There are four ways to run the diagnostic tests. v Using the cursor movement keys, highlight Run Normal Test or Run Quick Test from the Diagnostics menu and then press Enter. This automatically runs a pre-defined group of tests from each test category.
