SETTING UP YOUR SAVE-TO-DISK FILE ALLOCATION

Your notebook comes with an allocation of space on the internal hard drive adequate to operate the Save-to-Disk function for the amount of memory installed at the factory. If you add a memory upgrade module or do not use the Save-to-Disk function and wish to free up the disk space, you will need to change your allocation. The utility to change the allocations is PHDISK.EXE and is activated from the MS-DOS prompt.

PHDISK allows you to perform five different functions related to the Save-to-Disk space on your internal hard drive. They are:

1.Allocate a space for the Save-to-Disk function.

2.Remove all space allocation for the Save-to- Disk function.

3.Find out details about the hard drive and the current Save-to-Disk space allocation.

4.Re-allocate space and mark bad blocks in the space allocated to the Save-to-Disk function when a disk error has occurred.

5.Find out how much space is needed to perform the Save-to-Disk function with the current memory configuration and how much unused space is available on the internal hard drive.

To find out how much space is needed to perform the Save-to-Disk function with the current memory configuration and how much unused space is available on the internal hard drive, do the following:

1.Restart your notebook in MS-DOS mode.

2.At the DOS prompt type CD C:\Fujitsu

3.Type PHDISK

4.Press the Enter key.

The screen will display the amount disk space needed to perform the Save-to-Disk function with the current memory configuration and how much unused space is available on the internal hard drive.

To find out details about the hard drive and the current Save-to-Disk space allocation, do the following:

1.Restart your notebook in MS-DOS mode.

2.At the DOS prompt type CD C:\Fujitsu

3.Type PHDISK /INFO

4.Press the Enter key.

5.The screen will display the size of the space currently allocated to the Save-to-Disk func- tion and other parameters about the space and the hard drive.
