Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide instructions on altering the automatic boot selection to PC-Doctor DOS diagnostics when booting from the Multipurpose USB Device (MUD).

Description

Insert the PC-Doctor Service Center MUD into a Windows machine. This will allow you to access the configuration files on the device.
Open the MUD and navigate to the \isolinux directory within Windows Explorer and select the following files, right click and select ‘edit’ using a text editor:

live_486.cfg
live_686-pae.cfg
live_amd64.cfg

Note: You may use any text editor you wish, Notepad++ was used by PC-Doctor to create this set of instructions.
Upon opening each of these files locate the 'ontimeout' value and alter the statement after it to include 'dos_boot' in each of the files specified above. Once completed the files should read "ontimeout dos_boot" (without the quotations) as depicted below:

Upon saving the changes, this modification will have the DOS diagnostics launch upon timeout. If you wish to alter timeout value, please see the knowledgebase article here Change Timeout Values

Additional Information

Note: Should the USB device need to be restored these modifications will not carry over. They will have to be manually implemented once again.

The support has been, quite frankly, surprisingly outstanding and has exceeded all my expectations....Not once have we had to make repeated requests, or clarify questions. Impressive all around. I have felt like they are a close-knit part of our implementation team, and I can't even begin to tell you how reassuring it is to have such a professional and responsive group of experts that we can rely on throughout this process...

Carl Thorson, Computerland Director of Operations

I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate you jumping in and doing what you can to help me out. I am building my company around serving others first and believe that this is the most important part of my business. I just want to know that the people I am partnering with also have similar values. I believe that PC Doctor does have those values which is why I chose your product in the first place. You have confirmed my belief in your company's values and I look forward to a long lasting relationship between our companies.

Tom Williams, Anywhere Computer Care Owner

Purchased PC Doctor Service Center 6 after comparing the product with several other diagnostic products currently on the market, but after reading reviews and contacting the company for more information I was very impressed and decided to place an order, right from the start I found the customer service to be first-rate - since receiving the product which arrived in only 5 days from USA to UK! I have had one little problem but this was dealt with quickly and in a very professional manner by the support staff and was resolved within a day - I would highly recommend PC-Doctor's products and helpful staff.

Darren Rose, PC Assist @ Home Senior Technician

We have used various software programs to perform various diagnostic functions; many well known brand named products as well as those that are not so well known. Some of these programs are very similar in function and features to the PCD individual parts but nothing that compares with the comprehensive diagnostic abilities in a single program that you get in the PCD program.

Cliff Dale, Electronbox Support Team Senior Technician

I was having a problem with one of my computers intermittently locking up, requiring a hard reboot. Of course, each time this occurred, I lost everything that I had been working on since the last time I did a file save. I couldn’t tell whether this was a hardware or a software issue and didn’t know where to concentrate my efforts to resolve this issue. In searching the internet, I came across PC-Doctor. I installed the software and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use and how completely and thoroughly it tested all the hardware components in the computer. Thank you for this extremely helpful addition to my computer diagnostic toolkit.

Gerald Barber, G3L Consulting, Inc. President

Diagnosing hardware problems in Windows can be like finding a needle in a haystack, and that's where PC-Doctor comes in. Service Center works quickly to pinpoint the cause of computer hardware failure. This allows for a speedy turnaround that keeps my customers happy. You can count on PC-Doctor's top-notch service and support to promptly resolve any issues you may encounter. I would recommend this software to anyone in the computer repair industry.
