Hi everyone,
I am creating a Diagnostic Partition on a new Hard Drive from scratch and found an article on here that helped me do it. You can find that article here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/8254-2-creating-dell-diagnostic-partition-bare-hard-drive .
I followed it step by step and the partition worked fine up until I finished all the steps and tried to boot into it using the F12 key at the Dell Splash Screen and entering the Diagnostics Utility from the multi boot menu.
Is there another step not mentioned in the above article that i need to address?
I get no error messages when booting into the diagnostic partition. I just get a blank screen like it's loading without the video. I know i can use the CD to boot directly into the diagnostics, however i really want to get this working just so i can say that i have done it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
