Starting the diagnostic programs

The IBM Enhanced Diagnostics programs will isolate your computer hardware
from software that you have installed on your hard disk drive. The programs run
independently of the operating system, and must be run either from a 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.
A Device Drivers and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD comes with your computer. You
can also download the latest image of the diagnostics from
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support on the World Wide Web.
