1. Introduction

Welcome to the #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ User Area. Here you can download and make self-booting CD-ROMs and diskettes and read or print the product documentation.

Before you download any of the components below, if you do not currently have an area dedicated to downloads, we suggest that you create a "Downloads" folder on your C: drive, then a sub-folder under it for "#1-TuffTEST-Lite™" and place all of the components you download in the "#1-TuffTEST-Lite™" sub-folder.

Note as indicated in the Use License, you are allowed to have only one and only one operational copy of #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ in use at any time. If you operational copy becomes damaged and will no longer boot, you can make a new operational copy from the files in your #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ download sub-folder or download again as indicated below.

2. Making a Self-booting #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ CD-ROM

Downloading the components and making a self-booting #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ CD-ROM

If you have a CD-ROM R/W (read/write) drive and have installed the special software that came with the drive that can create ( burn) a bootable CD-ROM from an "ISO" image file, proceed below. 

Note that operating system CD-ROM burning software probably will not be usable to make a self-booting #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ CD-ROM because it is for "file" copying (usually called a "bootable data disc") and not for "ISO" file copying. If you do not have independent CD-ROM burning software, you can find appropriate programs at:

- Nero 7 Ultra Edition: 

  http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Products.html

  - Free Nero 7 Ultra Edition Trail version:

  http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Downloads.html

 - Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator, version 8:

   http://roxio.com/en/products/emc/family.jhtml

 

Download the "ISO" file below and create (burn) a self-booting #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ CD-ROM.

#1-TuffTEST-Lite™ CD-ROM "ISO" file format.

File Name: ttl.iso
Version: 1.53

Click Here to download: ISO Image Format ttl.iso

 

When the "ISO" file is downloaded, run the CD-ROM burning software you have installed, select the correct menu option to burn from an " ISO" file (not a "bootable data disc" selection), select the file from the location where you have saved it (the "Downloads/#1-TuffTEST-Lite™" folder ?) and create (burn) the self-booting #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ CD-ROM.

 

Make sure that you label the CD-ROM with #1-TuffTEST-Lite™, Version Number, Serial Number and date made.

 

To use the #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ self-booting CD-ROM, simply:

1. Read the #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ product documentation BEFORE using #1-TuffTEST-Lite™.
2. Shutdown the applications on the target PC.
3. Turn off the target PC.
4. Insert the #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ self-booting CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
5. Turn on the target PC. The PC will begin the boot process from the #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ self-booting CD-ROM and the #1-TuffTEST-Lite™  Main Menu should appear in about 30 seconds.
6. When the testing session is completed, turn of the target PC and remove the #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ CD-ROM and then turn the power back on and resume normal operations.  

IMPORTANT:  To use your newly created self-booting #1-TuffTEST-Lite™ CD-ROM on a PC you will need to make sure that CD-ROM Drive (or "Removable Media Drives") is selected as the first Boot Device in BIOS Setup.
