Re: Apple --AHT images?
I just received my Quad G5, and the Seller was kind enough to include the grey Tiger Install DIsk which includes my AHT 2.5.2. I'm going to "look" at the Black Retail OS X 10.5 DVD that I purchased a number of years ago, by Restart-ing holding down "opt" ... if it is on there, it should appear as a bootable partition, along with my OSs and the DVDs OS. It is invisible in the FInder. ASD 2.6.3 has been located also.

Re: Apple --AHT images?
Checking the net, here's what I found. 1. Honestly, AHT is useless junk. It's not worth your time stressing over it not working. – Dan Barrett Apr 29 at 12:46 2. I suppose AHT has some uses, but mostly I just want the time back I spent trying to use it and then trying to see what the messages mean if it actually finds something (or dealing with the occasional false positive result.) Or what @DanBarrett said. – bmike♦ Dec 6 at 2:03 RHB On Dec 30, 2012, at 1:57 PM, John Carmonne wrote: > > On Dec 27, 2012, at 12:21 PM, Fabian Fang wrote: > >> On Dec 27, 2012, at 7:47 AM, Bill Connelly wrote: >> >>> Anyone have the AHT 2.5.2 for use with a Quad Core G5 2.5GHz? >>> >>> It's supposed to be on an Applications Install DVD that comes with OS X >>> 10.5.5 and greater DVDs ...

On the other hand, the Mac OS > X Install Disc 1 for my old iMac G5 (iSight) includes AHT Version 2.5.3. The AHT images were definitely only included on the second disk that shipped with the computer (the gray one). Unfortunately, I don't have one of those disks, but I would second the suggestion that's already been posted in this thread and see if you can get one of LEMSwap. Regarding the search for an ASD image, I do remember seeing one floating around some less-than-reputable places on the 'net awhile back. That said, the reason it was on one of those less-than-reputable places was that the images are restricted to Apple Authorized Service Providers. Unless you're working for an Apple Authorized Service Provider, getting your hands on an ASD image isn't going to be, strictly speaking, legal. If you can't purchase an AHT disk off LEMSwap (I can't imagine it would cost that much), you might want to see if you could take it into an AASP. Many universities have one and might be willing to run the test for free for a friend.

Probably under Utilities? No, it cannot be installed. At least not that I heared of. It’s a bootable part on the gray “Install & Restore” kind of disc sets that came with the Mac. I guess it may be just one volume on it, but how to copy just that volume and retain its functionality? Should it be so easy as to copy just this one partition (i.e. volume)? I’m not on a Mac right now, so I cannot check if Disk Utility sees the AHT partition as one seperate volume that can be copied… > Any suggestions where to get this version of ASD? Use Google. Use the whole name (not the abbreviation ASD), the version, and something that looks like “TO RENT” (one letter is missing), and you should be able to find it.

It can be selected by restarting a Mac with the DVD while holding down the Option Key.

Re: Apple --AHT images?
I'm in need of ASD 2.5.8 [Apple Service Diagnostic (Dual Boot) 2.5.8] Just google for it. That’s how I found it anyway. Anyone have the AHT 2.5.2 for use with a Quad Core G5 2.5GHz? I have original media for AHT 2.1.1 (Power Mac G5 Mid-2004 or so) and AHT 2.2.5 (Power Mac G5 Late-2005 i.e. Dual-Core incl. Quad). 2.5.2 is for Late 2005. Yours, 2.2.5 is Late 2004 (and so is 2.5.2) according to Mactracker. Does anyone know how to seperate it? Is AHT installed on your harddrive? Probably under Utilities? Any news about the ASD diagnostic disks would be welcomed also. And ASD 2.6.3 is the final version for the Late-2005 (including the Quad) G5s.

As I understand it, ASD 2.5.8 is the last and final version for all Power Macs G5 except for the Late-2005 (Dual-Core CPUs, PCI-Express) series.
