Hi,
Sorry, no, it's not actually a log file. At first, according to the
instructions, I thought that it was but...
Of course you could change the extension of the file to whatever you
want then delete all the other stuff you didn't want in the file. But
I suppose that if the file is being forwarded to Apple, they probably
would rather have a complete look at the system profile.

Hi,
It is in system profiler. Under diagnostic I have 2 items. One is
called Apple Hardware Test and the other one that's automatically
created every time you boot your computer is called Power On Self
Test.
The file can then be exported as an XML file. Whitch of course, allows
for full navigation with Safari. The whole system profiler file is
reproduced this way. You can name it whatever you like. For example I
called mine Hardware Test and it was named Hardware Test.XML.

Hello,
This is what I did. I decided to run the Apple Hardware Test. My
son was here to read the screen to me. It was rather simple.
1. With the Install DVD 1 in the drive I started the unit while
holding down D.
2. Once the diagnostic tool came up, I asked my Son what it said.
He said that I had to choose language and that English was already
selected by default.
3. After the next screen came up, it wanted to confirm that I
wanted to run the test and the default answer is yes.
4. The test ran.
5. At the end of the test I had some choices: Rerun the test or
Restart the computer
6. I restarted the computer and ejected the CD.
That's what we found when running the Hardware Test.

Hi, I'm interested in this myself. Would it be possible to script
the diagnostic tool? Had a couple regretable insidents on my new
macbook that have me a bit worried and I was going to post here
for help running a diagnostic soon, so this discussion is quite
timely.
Maybe I'll drop into the apple store and they will help me script
it in which case I'd have something to share back.
Best,
Erik

Hello,
I would seek help from sighted assistance or your local Genius
Bar for this task. I'm sure your local Apple Store would gladly
assist you, and they've got better tools too.

Hello,
I want to run the Hardware Test. But I have a few questions.
I doubt if it will work with VO, so here are my questions.
1. Is the Default Language English?
2. After the Hardware Test comes up, can I just press inter to
start the test in Inglish?
3. How will I know when the test is done?
4. Will a report or log be placed on the HD?
Thanks for any answers in advance.
Dan
