It runs from a floppy disk (or floppy image on removable media) and provides low-level hardware tests, system information, BIOS and hardware configuration utilities, and simple repair/maintenance capabilities without booting the installed OS. It’s intended for field service, troubleshooting intermittent hardware problems, and verifying component behavior.
