No, it's not even remotely understandable. If the ability to perform
hardware diagnostics depends on the contents of the hard drive, then
your process is severely flawed. Booting a customised diagnostic OS
(whether it be Linux, Windows, or something entirely different) from
the network (or at worst, from a CD) should be standard procedure.
