    1. Place the Compaq Diagnostics diskette into drive A.
    2. Turn on the computer.
    3. When the first display screen appears, select Manage Diagnostic
    Partition.
    4. When the Manage Diagnostic Partition screen appears, select Create

    Hard Drive Security Clips
    If the hard drive security clips are installed, they must be removed before
    the hard drive can be removed [1]. If the hard drive will not come out
    easily, or if a hard drive lock label is attached to the hard drive (Figure
    4-28), ensure that the hard drive security clips have been removed before
    attempting to remove the hard drive. 
    						
    							To remove the hard drive security clips, complete the following steps:
    1. Remove the keyboard cover (Section 4-7).
    2. Reinsert the battery pack halfway into the battery compartment [1] so
    that the battery pack does not touch the battery contacts on the system
    board (Figure 4-29).
    NOTE: The added weight of the battery pack keeps the computer from
    tipping backward when accessing the hard drive security clips.
    You may want to insert the battery pack upside down for
    additional protection against it touching its contacts.

    cloth-covered display panel (Figure 4-31). 
    						
    							7. Remove the hard drive security clips by gently lifting up on them
    (Figure 4-32).
