This ISO image file is first downloaded to your hard disk and then must be burned directly to a CD-ROM, exactly as is. This file is larger than 60MB and may take several minutes to download. Make sure you have enough space on your hard disk to store the image file.

This ISO image file is first downloaded to your hard disk and then must be burned directly to a CD-ROM, exactly as is. This is a large file (>60MB) and may take several minutes to download. Make sure you have enough space on your hard disk to store the image file. 1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file to a directory on your hard drive. 2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files. The .iso file is a master ISO image file of the HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition CD-ROM. From this ISO file, you can burn your own bootable CD-ROM. A CD (ISO) image is not a collection of compressed or uncompressed data files; nor is it an executable (binary). Rather, it is a large, single file, which must be copied exactly as is onto a CD. In effect, you will download the image from the download site, "burning" its contents onto your CD. Burn the full ISO image onto a blank CD-ROM using a CD-ROM burner and any major CD burning software such as Roxio (Adaptec) or Nero. Most common CD burning software applications should have the ability to burn an “image” to CD. Example Procedure for Creating a Bootable Data CD From an ISO Image File (Using Roxio/Adaptec Software) 1. Insert a blank CD into your CD-Recorder (the destination drive). 2. From the File menu, select Create CD from CD Image. 3. Select the image file (*.iso file) you want to make into a CD. 4. Click Open. The CD Creation Setup dialog box appears. 5. If necessary, change the CD Creation Setup settings. 6. Click OK. How To Run the HP Insight Diagnostics 1. Enable your system to boot from CD. 2. Insert the HP Insight Diagnostics CD that you burned into the CD drive. 3. Shutdown and restart the computer, allowing it to boot from the CD. 4. Diagnostics automatically loads and runs.
