Dell offers bootable ISOs troubleshooting their systems, and I can get it to work with the option
boot bcdw \custom\cdd_1280.iso
Edit - When I move the USB mouse at the first GUI screen of the Dell software the program crashes, but after I select the test option via the keyboard the USB works normally.
Is there an option to turn off the USB with bcdw? Any other options?
Victor you may want to look at including this diagnostic.

All the iso's I have seen from Dell havehad the files visible... Another way to get them would be to visit the support.dell.copm website and download the HardDrive variant of the diag software. If you get the floppy base software, it will be 4 disks and i have not been able to successfully get those onto the UBCD and work. But the HD ones I have got to work except for the memeory tests due to how the disk works. Plus you can put multiple version like I have so you can test a multitude of Dell machines unless you are in a Homogeneous shop... I am in a Heterogeneous shop with a multitude of Dell form factors and antiquity.

I have figured out how to add the Dell Diags under dosapps.
The included Dell memory test also works.
