Sleep Manager automatically checks the system configuration and displays the
recommended size. The drive where the space w ill be created is defined by the
system and will be the first availa ble logical drive which has the requested
contiguous free disk space on it. The recommended size is the minimum size
needed to save the current system status.
If the program cannot find the requir ed space on the hard disk during the space
creation process, it shows a message box t o inform the user.
Not enough space for allocation
This is an error message that may appear when Sleep Manager is creating the
Hibernation file. There are several different reasons that may cause this error.
One reason is that the size of the free disk space on your hard disk is less than the
required size. For example, if the onboard memory is 32MB and the video
memory is 2MB, the total free disk space required will be around 34MB. If the
total free disk space is less than this, the user has to free up space on h is h ard disk.
Another possible reason is that the har d disk has enough free space, but this free
space exists as small fragments. The free disk space that Sleep Manager requires
needs to be contiguous. To solve t his problem, use tools such as Disk
Defragmenter (Windows ) to compact these fr ee disk spaces. Then run Sleep
Manager again to create the file.
One other factor tha t causes the error is when disk compressio n utilities are used.
Sleep Manager can work with most compression software. However, Sleep
Manager can only create the space on a host drive. A host drive st or es orig ina l fi le
information and cannot be compressed. The free space on the host drive is usually
