any freeware diagnostics tools for pc ?
the one i have on my thinkpad is PcDoctor but it's only for my laptop.
any ideas for any other free ones ?
 
what do you mean by diagnostics? like system utilities? or what?

or do you mean like the other day when my old old ibm thinkpad stuffed up and it had a program where you could select stuf to test whether it had errors?

like just after the bios it had a screen and you would click on "mainboard" or "memory" or stuff like that and it told me there was a memory error.

what is that and why isnt it on any new computers? its so useful haah

yeah those kinds, to test hardware to see if they're going to die or whatsoever

Holy Crap. That's like hundreds of dollars of software. Is the CD free?
 
if your looking for something specific i would like to help.
Other proggies for dos boot that may be useful is ntfsdos.
unfortunately you can only read only. You need the pro ver.

Something else comes to mind for prepping a boot disk.
setting up to boot and use usb. look for drivers 'panasonic'.
