Important
To determine if your computer has the Product Recovery program on the
hard disk, look for the following prompt when you start your computer:
To start the IBM Product Recovery Program, press F11
If this prompt is displayed at startup, the Product Recovery program is
installed.
If your computer does not have the Product Recovery program installed,
and you do not have a Product Recovery CD(s) for your operating system,
go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support on the World Wide Web for
information about obtaining a Product Recovery CD.
You can create an IBM Enhanced Diagnostics diskette or you can run the
diagnostics directly from the product recovery program or CD.

Wide Web, do the following:
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support on the World Wide Web.
2. Type your machine type and model, and click Go.
3. Select Downloadable files.
4. Download the .EXE file to a hard disk directory (not to a diskette).

downloaded.
6. Insert a blank high-capacity diskette into the diskette drive A.
7. Type the following and press Enter:

where filename is the name of the file you downloaded from the Web.
The self-extracting downloaded file is copied to the diskette, and a startable
IBM Enhanced Diagnostics diskette is created.
