Starting the Diagnostic Test
To test hardware, it's important to start the diagnostic test without
optional features or programs (for example, without memory-
resident programs). To do so, you should run TDIAGS from the
Toshiba Companion Diskette using the Toshiba Companion Util-
ity (even though the TDIAGS program is on the hard disk).
Before you start the test, check all cables for loose connections. If
any errors occur during the test, check all cable connections again.
To start the test, follow these steps:
1 Click Start, then click Shut Down.
Windows 95 displays the Shut Down Windows dialog box.
2 Click the button next to Restart the computer in MS-DOS
mode and click Yes.
Windows 95 shuts down, then restarts in MS-DOS mode and
displays a system prompt.
3 If your diskette drive is not installed in the SelectBay, con-
nect the external diskette drive or swap drives in the Select-
Bay. To swap drives, see "Swapping Drives in the
SelectBay" on page 104.
4 Put the Toshiba Companion Diskette in drive A and press
