Install Diagnostics without reinstalling windows?
Can I install the diagnostics utility for dell inspiron 9100 on the hard drive without having to reinstall windows if I use something like partition magic? Or is there a way to run it from a cd? And where can I download it from? I have found some downloads, but they don't seem like they were made for inspiron 9100. Anyone knows? The one that is most possible to work is called cdd1236.exe that I got from dell us website. Is this the one? If I burn it on a cd and boot from it will it work?
Thanks

I tried the 1246 and it worked fine. Maybe it wasn't officially made for the 9100, but it worked.Message Edited by UIU on 12-23-2004 03:58 PM

In the executable splash, build1246 indicates support for the IXPS/9100.142
