To Create A Hibernate Partition (Omnibook 900) - HP OmniBook 900 Evaluation Manual

Operating the OmniBook
Managing Battery Power
•
Do not leave batteries unused for long periods of time. If you have
more than one, rotate them.
•
If you normally use ac power, make a practice of at least once a week
using the battery as your power source.
•
Unplug the ac adapter when the computer is not in use.
•
To preserve the life of your battery, be sure to charge the battery
regularly.
•
For long-term storage, the battery must be charged at 20-50% to save
capacity loss by self-discharge and to avoid deterioration of battery
performance. In a discharged condition, the battery voltage decreases
faster. Storage in a 100% charged condition can cause higher
self-discharge and deterioration of discharge capacity—even after
recharging—compared to storage in a 20-50% charged condition.

To create a Hibernate partition (OmniBook 900)

There must be a hibernation partition large enough to hold the contents of
memory on the hard disk before the OmniBook can hibernate. By default
the hibernation partition is large enough to hold the maximum amount of
memory allowed in the OmniBook. If you have repartitioned the hard disk,
purchased a new hard disk, or would like to make the partition smaller,
follow the instructions below.
This procedure erases the hard disk. Be sure to save any data on your
hard disk before starting this procedure.
You'll need the OmniBook, a CD-ROM drive, and the OmniBook
Recovery CD to create a hibernate partition.
1. Connect the ac adapter to the OmniBook.
2. Connect the CD-ROM drive to the OmniBook.
3. Insert the bootable Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive.
4. Reboot, press ESC twice and select the DVD/CD-ROM as the boot
device.
The DOS Startup menu appears.
5. Choose option 3:
Create Hibernate Partition (erases Hard Disk).
6. Choose Y to Continue.
7. When prompted for Hibernate partition size, we recommend that you
create the factory default partition size.
Do not interrupt the Hibernate partition process or unplug the ac
adapter until the process is complete.
