Perhaps because it's a Dell, you may need to run the Hiren's CD in Safe Mode, instead of as a Live CD. Many of the Tools can be run that way...

Hi all,
I have an update. I e-mailed Hiren's website to find out what the original
error message I got when I tried to run HDAT2 meant (the error message said
"Load error: no DPMI get csdpmi*b.zip). I just got a reply with two attached
files, and instructions to replace the attached files in the HBCD\DOS
folder.
I have tried copying the files to the folder on the disc several times. Once
when I tried I got a message that the files could not be copied because the
disk is write protected. Other times when I copied and pasted the files
using Windows Explorer, it looked like the files were being copied. However,
when I looked at the contents of the HBCFD\DOS folder on the disc, the two
files that I copied still have the same "date modified" as all of the other
files, so I'm not sure the files were copied after all.
So that you don't have to read all of the other e-mails-the disc I am
copying to was an .iso disc, which I burned properly. It does boot from the
disc, but I can't run the HDAT2 program.
What am I doing incorrectly? How can I copy these files to the disc?
Thanks,
Ellen
