Save-to-Disk Suspend Utility (for
Windows 98 and Windows NT)
The save-to-disk (S2D) suspend utility allows you to manage the S2D partition in your
file system as your computing needs change. For instance, you can remove the S2D
partition if you need the space on the hard-disk drive for other purposes, or you can
use the S2D utility to create the partition if you have removed it.
Only computers running Windows 98 or Windows NT use an S2D partition. If your
computer runs Windows 2000, you can place the computer into hibernation through
Power Options Properties in the Control Panel.

instance, if you are running out of file space), perform the following steps to remove
the partition:
1. Insert the System Software CD into the CD-ROM drive.
