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 Diagnostic Partition. The computer creates the partition, reboots the computer, and installs the diagnostics software. 5.

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. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WARNING >>>>>
