The Partition Method
The Save to Disk partition has to be
created before you install the oper-
ating system. Once it's done, you
can't increase the partition's size
without repartitioning and reformat-
ting your hard disk.
So, we recommend that you make
the partition large enough to
accomodate all the memory you
expect to have. Check Appendix A:
Specifications to see what the maxi-
mum capacity is.
Note: while you may upgrade to the maxi-
mum RAM, it is very unlikey that you'll in-
crease the amount of video memory (the
basic configuration is 4MB).
You start with an unpartitioned ,
unformatted hard disk then follow
these steps to prepare the partition:
1. Boot up the computer from a
bootable disk.
2. Insert the floppy with PHDISK .
3. To Run PHDISK.EXE at the DOS
prompt type,
a:>PHDISK [Enter], then
1 [Enter], then
• to use the default setting,
press Enter
• for a 'customized' setting, type
the size you prefer (e.g.
70656 for a 69MB= 70,656KB
partition),
then press [Enter]
4. When finished formatting, choose
"3", then press any key to reboot
the system.
Note: When you run your operating system's
partition utility (e.g. MS-DOS 's FDISK), it will tell
you that it has found a "Non-DOS" partition.
Do not do anything to this partition, and be
careful not to format the "Non-DOS" parti-
tion.
Other Controls
Reformatting (partition only)
If your Save to Disk partition becomes
corrupted or develops too many "bad
sectors", you should reformat it by
typing,
a:>PHDISK [ENTER],
then type 1 [Enter]
When finished reformatting, choose
"3", then press any key to reboot the
system.
Power: save to disk setup
Deleting (partition or file)
If you want to remove the parti-
tion or file contents, type
a:>PHDISK [ENTER]
then type 2 [Enter]
When finished deleting, choose
"3", then press any key to reboot.
Note: If you created a partition, it
will still exist as a separate parti-
tion. To make it DOS-usable, next
use DOS's FORMAT utility.
Hibernate & Windows Controls
The Hibernate tab in Control
Panel > Power Management al-
lows you to control the "Suspend
to Disk" feature from within the op-
erating system.
Windows 98
SE
If Windows detects a Save to Disk
partition or file, the "Hibernate" tab
appears.
Windows 2000
Don't use the PhDisk utility. Win-
dows 2000 automatically installs
its own version of "Hibernate".
