Hi,
What is the difference between HP Advanced System Diagnostics Start-up test vs its Run-in test?
Is one faster or more thorough than the other ? Is it better to run one or the other in different situations?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Run-in test "Repeats the start-up test and checks for intermittent problems that the short start-up test does not detect. The test will run continuously until it is manually stopped by pressing the esc key.

Okay, this is all well and good but how do you get the report from the run-in test if you're required to manually stop it with Esc? When I hit escape, there was no information displayed regarding the previous tests.
