The best you are going to be able to manage is installing the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics 3-in-1 USB Key to a USB Flash drive. That is because the softpaq that installs it to the hard disk is for Windows operating systems.

You can download it from the following link.

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp78501-79000/sp78883.exe

It is also available at the following web page

You can boot to the flash drive anytime to access the Hardware Diagnostic.

Sir , how can i boot from it. . . . , by simply pressing f2 or by f9(change boot priority)

Make the usb flash disk.

Plug it into a usb port.

Press the power button and immediately tap the nEsc key or the F9 key.

Choose the flash disk to boot to.

That should invoke the three options on the usb flash disk.
