DESCRIPTION:
Creates three diskettes:
- One (1) diskette for Personal Computer Diagnostics Version 10.27 Rev B
- Two (2) diskettes for Computer Setup/VP Version 1.75 Rev B
For all products except the Deskpro EP Series, Computer Setup and PC Diagnostics
are both pre-installed on the Diagnostics Partition. The diskettes in this
SoftPaq can be used to update these utilities on the Diagnostics Partition or
to restore them if the Diagnostics Partition has been destroyed. Both utilities
can be run by pressing F10 during power-up or reboot when prompted in the lower
right corner of the screen on some models or when the cursor jumps to the
upper right corner of the screen on other models. Or they can be run
directly from these diskettes.
NOTE: For the Deskpro EP Series only, Computer Setup/VP and Personal
Computer Diagnostics must be run from diskette.
Computer Setup/VP allows the user to configure security and power
management settings as well as system resources (DMA, IRQ, I/O Ports,
and Memory). It is specific to the Deskpro models mentioned above.
Personal Computer Diagnostics contains programs that can test and
inspect the state of the computer and its devices. It is used with the
Deskpro models mentioned above, as well as other Compaq desktops and
portables.
Enhancements/Fixes:
- This version will support all the features supported by Setup 1.74.
- Added support for the onboard audio configuration for Deskpro EN Series.
- Added support to report Covington processor as "Celeron(tm) Processor"
- Added support to report larger hard drive size(larger than 8GB) correctly.
HOW TO USE:
1. Obtain three (3) formatted 1.44MB diskettes and place the first one
in one of your diskette drives.
2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive.
The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename
based on the SoftPaq Number above.
3. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.
Entering "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files creates a new directory
folder in the download directory. All files are unpacked into this
newly created directory.
4. To create the three diskettes run the MAKEDISK.BAT file and follow
the prompts.
You will be prompted to enter these diskettes.
Label them as follows:
First Diskette -- Personal Computer Diagnostics Version 10.27 Rev B
Second Diskette -- Computer Setup/VP Version 1.75 Rev B (Disk 1 of 2)
Third Diskette -- Computer Setup/VP Version 1.75 Rev B (Disk 2 of 2)
5. After the diskettes are created, you may delete the files downloaded
in step 2 if you wish.
IMPORTANT: If installing Computer Setup/VP to a new unpartitioned hard
drive, boot from the Diagnostics diskette (first diskette) and follow the
prompts to create a diagnostics partition. You will be prompted to insert
the Setup diskettes.
6. To install or upgrade Computer Setup/VP on the Diagnostics Partition,
or to run it directly from the diskettes, boot from the first Setup/VP
diskette (second diskette created) and follow the prompts.
7. To install or upgrade Personal Computer Diagnostics on the Diagnostics
Partition, boot from the Diagnostics diskette (first diskette) . From the
"Manage Diagnostics Partition" menu, select "Create" or "Update" partition
