Pc-Check can view only the first or second hard disk on the system from the boot loader. The software automatically installs the diagnostic partition on the first bootable disk.
To add the diagnostic partition on the first bootable disk, follow these steps:
If the first bootable disk is clear of partitions, the partitioning utility window appears. It states: “Your primary hard disk is not partitioned. Would you like to partition it now?”
Select Yes and press Enter.
A window appears, stating, “Partitioning complete. Your machine will now be restarted.”
If the first bootable disk is not clear of partitions, a window appears stating that the software is unable to create a hardware diagnostic partition because partitions already exist on the disk.
If this happens, go to How to Remove Existing Partitions From a Hard Disk to remove the partitions from the disk and then repeat Step 1 through Step 4 of this procedure.
