If you don't have your original disk I suggest calling AppleCare and have them ship you a replacement copy of your computer's AHT disc. There's a nominal fee charged by Apple to process this order if you are not under AppleCare's coverage.
BTW, how are you accessing the AHT? Did you get a disc from another computer? or are you using the internet version of the AHT?

I just want to let you know, that it worked perfectly fine when I brought my machine to Genius bar. I brought my machine for charger replacement as its two pins were stuck and they had to replace the charger. I asked Genius that machine freezes oftenly so therefore he checked it thouroughly with Diagnostic test but could not find anything.
This machine came with Snow Leopard, I upgraded it to Lion (10.7.3). Would that same DVD work in lion or do i need to get new one
thanks,

You need the discs that shipped with your Mac when it was new, because those discs are specific to your Hardware.
