2.1.4 Managing the Diagnostics Partition
This option allows you to create, delete, or upgrade the diagnostics software on your computer. This
must be performed from a Diagnostics diskette.
A diagnostics partition is installed on the primary hard drive at the factory. If the partition is to be
created on a newly installed primary hard drive, it must be done before DOS is installed to make it
bootable during POST.
