/CREATE Option Syntax

The syntax of the PHDISK /CREATE option is:

PHDISK /CREATE [SIZE][/FILE][/PARTITION]

Table 3-21lists valid examples of the PHDISK /CREATE option.

Table 3-21. PHDISK /CREATE Option

Command	Description
PHDISK /CREATE /FILE	If no save-to-disk partition exists, PHDISK creates
(or PHDISK /C /F)	a save-to-disk file large enough for the current
	system configuration.
	If a save-to-disk partition exists, PHDISK creates
	a save-to-disk file large enough to supplement the
	existing save-to-disk partition space. (The file
	created provides additional disk space required for
	save-to-disk operation.)
PHDISK /CREATE /PARTITION	Creates a save-to-disk partition using the amount
(or PHDISK /C /P)	of memory required as calculated by PHDISK.
	Caution
	Creating a save-to-disk partition will reformat the
	hard disk drive, erasing all data on the disk. You
	must back up your hard disk before using PHDISK
	to create a save-to-disk partition. To avoid
	reformatting your hard disk, use the /FILE
	parameter instead of the /PARTITION parameter.
PHDISK /CREATE 10240 /FILE	Creates a 10 MB save-to-disk file. The [SIZE]
(or PHDISK /C 10240 /F)	variable is 10240.

REFORMAT Option

The /REFORMAT option resets the pointers in a save-to-disk partition. Use this option after a save-to-disk operation is terminated by a read or write error.

Note: Only save-to-disk partitions can be reformatted; save-to-disk files cannot. If a hard disk error occurs while writing to a save-to-disk file, use PHDISK /DELETE /FILE to delete the save-to-disk file. Then, use PHDISK /CREATE /FILE to create a new save-to-disk file.

/REFORMAT Option Syntax

Table 3-22lists an example of the PHDISK /REFORMAT option.

Table 3-22. PHDISK /REFORMAT Option

Command	Description
PHDISK /REFORMAT /PARTITION	Reformats the save-to-disk partition.
(or PHDISK /R /P)
