Important
To determine if your computer has the Product Recovery program on the
hard disk, look for the following prompt when you start your computer:
To start the IBM Product Recovery Program, press F11
If this prompt is displayed at startup, the Product Recovery program is
installed.
If your computer does not have the Product Recovery program installed,
and you do not have a Product Recovery CD(s) for your operating system,
go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support on the World Wide Web for
information about obtaining a Product Recovery CD.
You can create an IBM Enhanced Diagnostics diskette or you can run the
diagnostics directly from the product recovery program or CD.

Wide Web, do the following:
