SETTING UP YOUR SAVE-TO-DISK
FILE ALLOCATION
Your notebook comes with an allocation
of space on the internal hard drive adequate
to operate the Save-to-Disk function for the
amount of memory installed at the factory. If
you add a memory upgrade module or do not
use the Save-to-Disk function and wish to free
up the disk space, you will need to change your
allocation. The utility to change the allocations
is PHDISK.EXE and is activated from the
MS-DOS prompt.
PHDISK allows you to perform five different
functions related to the Save-to-Disk space on
your internal hard drive. They are:
1. Allocate a space for the Save-to-Disk
function.
2. Remove all space allocation for the
Save-to-Disk function.
3.Find out details about the hard drive and the
current Save-to-Disk space allocation.

4. Re-allocate space and mark bad blocks in the
space allocated to the Save-to-Disk function
when a disk error has occurred.
5.Find out how much space is needed to
perform the Save-to-Disk function with
the current memory configuration and how
much unused space is available on the
internal hard drive.
To create a space allocation for the
Save-to-Disk function, do the following:
1.Go to the Start menu and select
MS-DOS prompt.
2. At the DOS prompt type
CD C:\Fujitsu . (Make sure you put a
space between CD and C:and no space
between C: and \.)
3. Type PHDISK /CREATE /FILE . (Make sure
you put a space before each of the /s.)
4. Press the Enter key.
5. The utility will create a Save-to-Disk file
called SAVE2DSK.BIN in the root directory.
It will be of the minimum size needed to
support the Save-to-Disk function with the
current memory configuration.
To remove all space allocation for the
Save-to-Disk function, do the following:
1.Go to the Start Menu and select
MS-DOS Prompt.
2. Type CD C:\Fujitsu . (Make sure you put
a space between CD and C:and no space
between C: and \.)
3. Type PHDISK /DELETE /FILE . (Make sure
you put a space before each of the /s.)
4. Press the Enter key.
5. The utility will remove the space allocation
for the Save-to-Disk function and free that
space for other use.
