PHDISK Hard Disk Preparation Utility

The PHDISK hard disk preparation utility can be used to prepare either a dedicated partition or create a
hidden MS-DOS file for storing system data during a suspend-to-disk or "save-to-disk" operation.
Note: PHDISK version 3.2.10 is supported for use with the Stylistic 2300 pen tablet. PHDISK is not supported
for use with a hard disk drive formatted with the FAT32 file system. (The pen tablet's built-in hard disk
ships from the factory formatted with the FAT16 file system which is compatible with PHDISK.) If you
are using an aftermarket hard disk drive for your suspend-to-disk partition or file, ensure that it is
formatted with the FAT16 file system.

Command Line Options

Table 3-16 lists PHDISK command line options and additional parameters. Note that PHDISK options can
be invoked using only the first letter of each option and parameter. For example either,
PHDISK /REFORMAT
or
PHDISK /R
can be used to invoke the reformat option.
Option
None
/CREATE
Caution
Creating a save-to-disk partition will reformat the hard disk
drive, erasing all data on the disk. Back up your hard disk
before using PHDISK to create a save-to-disk partition.

Parameters
Displays the PHDISK Opening Screen.
/PARTITION Creates a save-to-disk partition. (Entire hard disk
is reformatted.)
Creating a save-to-disk partition will reformat the
hard disk drive, erasing all data on the disk. You
must back up your hard disk before using PHDISK
to create a save-to-disk partition. To avoid
reformatting your hard disk, use the /FILE
parameter instead of the /PARTITION parameter.
/FILE If no save-to-disk partition exists, PHDISK creates
a save-to-disk file large enough for the current
system configuration.
If a save-to-disk partition exists, PHDISK creates a
save-to-disk file large enough to supplement the
existing save-to-disk partition space. (The file
created provides additional disk space required for
save to disk operation.)
