Clearing the Dell Diagnostics Log

I'm using a Dell Latitude D620 running Windows XP Pro. The hard drive had a bad sector which I repaired but the Dell Diagnostics is still reporting that it has an error because of it's previous log. How would I clear this log file?

Thanks

I forgot to mention that there is no option in the BIOS for me to clear any log.

Could we have a bit more info about the problem.

1) Is the Dell Diagnostics run from the BIOS, CD/DVD or is it a windows application?

2) How far into the boot up sequence can you actually get?

3) Have you tried a BIOS update, current version is listed on the Dell support site as version A10

When I boot the machine I hit F12 and choose Dell Diagnostics. The machine boots up fine but I'm annoyed that the one test still fails because of an error was logged in a previous test. That is why I would like to clear the log file. The BIOS is already at A10.

Thanks
