Creating an S2D File for Windows NT

Overview

If you are installing a new hard-disk drive or rebuilding one and you want to be able to use suspend-to-disk (S2D) mode (called hibernate in the Microsoft® Windows® 98 operating system), you must create an S2D file on the hard-disk drive. This allows all system data to be stored in the S2D file whenever you activate S2D mode.

Creating an S2D File for Windows 95 or Windows 98

NOTE: The following procedure assumes that your hard-disk drive is already partitioned and formatted. For information on partitioning and formatting your drive, see both your operating system and your drive documentation.

To create the S2D file for computers running the Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system, perform the following steps:

1.Insert the Dell System Software CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

2.Turn on or restart the computer.

3.Press <F2> as soon as you see the Dell logo screen to enter the system setup program. If you wait too long and the operating system begins to load into memory, let the computer complete the load operation. Then shut down the computer and try again.

4.Enter the Boot screen, select ATAPI CD-ROM Drive, and move it to the first position in the boot sequence.

5.Press <F10> to save the settings and exit the system setup program.
