Setting Up Your Save-To-Disk File Allocation - Fujitsu 735Dx User Manual

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.
