Digital recommends that you create Diagnostic diskettes as soon as possible. Before beginning, be sure you have six blank 1.44 MB diskettes available. Then proceed as follows: 1. If you are a Windows NT 3.51 user, from Program Manager, click on File Manager. If you are a Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 user, click on My Computer on the desktop. 2. Choose your CD-ROM drive. 3. From the CD-ROM drive, locate and run the following executable files to make the first three diskette: \AmiDiag\\Amixxxx1.exe (AmiDiag Emergency Use) \AmiDiag\Amixxxx2.exe (AmiDiag Emergency Use) \AmiDiag\Env_xxx.exe (Environment) where: xxxxx The version number of the AmiDiag Diagnostic package. and XXX The version of the environment 4. Insert your blank diskette and follow the instructions on the screen. 5. Remove the diskette and label the diskette as the instructions discribe on the screen. 6. Make the next three diskettes, the "Digital Vendor Extended" diagnostic diskettes by locating the following executable files \AmiDiag\Xtxxx_1.exe \AmiDiag\Xtxxx_2.exe \AmiDiag\2Xtxxx_3.exe where: xxx The version number of the Digital Vendor Extended disk. 7. Repeat step 4 and 5. You may wish to install the diskettes on your hard disk drive. Windows NT users have to first create a bootable DOS partition to install the diskette. You can increase the Diagnostics performance and functionality by running the program from the hard disk drive. The first diskette is also useful as an Emergency diagnostic diskette. Insert the diskette in the diskette drive and power on your system. For more information, see the Readme.txt file on the Diagnostic diskettes.
