• Format your floppy disks using DOS after exiting the utility.

Figure 3-7. Advanced Diagnostics Menu
Items that appear in bold in the menus indicate fields that users can change. Default settings initially
appear on the screen.
Each of the selections on the menu indicate the hardware item to test and the configuration of that item.
Some items are present (P) or not present (N), while others specify a hardware type. For example,
Keyboard can be an 84-key keyboard, a 101-key keyboard, or not present.
The selections shown in the menu are detected by the diagnostics system. Use the arrow keys to select
items to change to override the automatic selection process or to exclude certain tests from being
performed.
