Parameter Description
/HELP or /? Shows a help screen briefly describing how to use the
parameters.
/CREATE=size
(unit=KB) Allocates contiguous disk spaces for swapping memory image
and saving system registers. We suggest that you allocate the
required disk spaces before you start using your PC.
You may specify the size of the disk space which you want to
allocate. If the size value you assigned is less than the system
memory size, the program will use the system memory size
instead. The default value is the system memory size. The
program will add additional disk spaces for VIDEO MEMORY,
SM RAM, and HEADER information whose sizes are described in
NOTICE below. If you want to resize the allocated disk spaces,
you have two options:
• First execute this program with /DELETE parameter
described below and then run this program with this
parameter again;
• Directly execute ASTDK with this parameter to resize the
needed disk spaces automatically.
If the data in CMOS is lost or corrupted and you run this program
with /CREATE parameter, the program will auto-detect and then
allocate the disk spaces. The program will reallocate the disk
space based on the new size you specify.
/DELETE Use this parameter to free the disk space allocated by the
program.
