Apple Hardware Test query...

I have an old iBook along with it's original OS X Tiger install discs: one of these discs contains the Apple Hardware Test. I have now updated the iBook to OS X Leopard via Apple's OS X Leopard 10.5 Retail Family Pack install disc.

I now want to run the Apple Hardware Test but don't believe I should from my Original Tiger discs as I'm now on the newer Leopard OS. I cannot see an AHT on the Leopard disc. Is it there somewhere and I've just missed it?

If not, how do I run the AHT on this iBook running Leopard?

Your Leopard disk does not have the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) on it...only those gray disks (disk #2) has the AHT on it. Each AHT file is specific for a specific group of computers. Apple would have to include ALL AHT files for All computer models on the Leopard disk...and this isn't feasible.

If you need to run the AHT...you just boot the iBook from your gray "Tiger" disk to run the AHT as needed. The OS version does not matter...the specific AHT file is what is important.

Thanks... just what I needed to know.
