Preboot Hardware Diagnostic not working
Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2006 8:15 pm
Hi, my new thinkpad had crashed with a Parity Error in a BSOD ones (will investigate on it, but no other probs so far, PCDoctor Ramtest did not reveil any trouble)
So for testing the ram, I wanted to see what the preboot/Rescue and recovery environment Hardware diagnostics would tell.
So, as I was told after clicking on the link, I switch the laptop off and on again, an image of Win98 started booting and an menu appeared, offering only
a)Restore to factory defaults
b)Restore a backup
no option for doing any hardware diag...
Has anyone else experienced such?
How to recover the Hardware diagnostics?
Only yesterday I djd install the new R&R 3.10.0022. Since I had never tried that hardware diagnostics before, I do not know if the new version has anything to do with it. (I do not know, if it updates the preboot environment at all or only the windows tools)
Thanks
