Instant On works through the same process as Save to HDD, except that your data is saved to disk when you press the Suspend/Resume button. Before you can use either of these features, you have to configure your hard disk drive.
The drive is already partitioned to set aside a 26MB area for the saved data (allowing space for all memory configurations). This area is invisible to your software, and the amount of disk space available to you for normal data storage is reduced.
The PHDISK program formats the partition on your hard disk drive. After you run this program, you can use the Save to Disk and Instant On functions available on the Power Management screen. These options take effect immediately. You might need to run this utility again if you change the memory size.
Run the PHDISK utility program by typing the following commands at the DOS prompt:
CD\PM
PHDISK/CREATE
If you install a new hard disk drive, run FDISK or the operating system’s installation program to create a 26MB partition. After you install the operating system, run PHDISK to configure the partition.
