>yes I had to try it out works good, what you need to do
is:
1.Shutdown (Restart)
2.Tapping your delete key when your Computer Begins it's
restart as you want to get into BIOS
3.Change Boot order to Floppy First, Hard drive second
4.Exit out saving changes
5.Insert your boot floppy you made and restart
6.When your diagnostic Starts take out boot disk
7. It ran a set of 6 Basic tests after which you can
press the X key to stop and resume your restart into OS.
Good luck
