Notes

(1) Since different product divisions have different SoftPaq release processes, there may be multiple SoftPaqs with the same

functionality.

(2) The version of AF-CHECK.EXE in SoftPaqs sp55117 and sp56211 creates the correct file output; however, the error-level

return code is incorrect if two or more disks are attached. A fix has been developed, along with a 64-bit version named AF-

CHECK64.EXE and a Visual Basic Scripting (VBS) script that can detect the processor platform and run the appropriate

executable (AF-CHECK.EXE or AF-CHECK64.EXE). The release date for the updates has not been determined

(3) The AF Disk Information Tool offers two options. You can use either a graphical user interface (GUI)-driven disk information

tool or an offline DOS tool that switches to a Linux kernel running a program that reports disk information on the screen and

then forces a reboot after you press the Enter key.

(4) SoftPaq sp53121 was released for notebooks where Linux is preinstalled and supported

(5) 32-bit programs may work in 32-bit mode (that is, WoW64) with a 64-bit OS. However, since WinPE 64-bit does not have

a 32-bit mode, you will need a 64-bit program in that environment.
