HOW TO USE: 
IMPORTANT: The CD data is delivered as a single ISO image file (in the format 
.iso). 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.

Download the .iso file indicated under Current Version above.

Downloading this file will provide a master ISO image file of the most current 
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 burn 
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.
