Chapter 10 - Creating a Save-To-Disk Partition

The hard drive shipped in your computer has a save-to-disk partition in which data from system and video memory is stored during save-to-disk mode. The partition is the maximum size needed for your computer and supports system memory of 256 MB. You can add memory modules to your computer without changing the size of the partition.

NOTE: You do not need a Save-to-disk partition if you are running Windows 2000. Windows 2000 handles Save-to-disk as hibernation. See the Windows 2000 manual for more information.

If you add a new hard drive to your computer, you need to create a save-to-disk partition on the new hard drive.

NOTE: If you do not intend to use save-to-disk mode, you do not need to create a save- to-disk partition.

You can use the Phoenix PHDISK utility, provided on the MRestore CD-ROM disk to create the save-to-disk partition.

If you want to put programs or files from your current hard drive onto the new hard drive, back up data files on your old hard drive before creating a save-to-disk partition on the new drive.

NOTE: If you do not intend to use the save-to-disk mode, you can delete the save-to-disk partition on a hard drive using PHDISK /delete. Then you can repartition and reformat the save-to-disk partition for some other application. Back up your hard drive before deleting the partition if you feel unsure about how to do this.

Before you use PHDISK to create a save-to-disk partition, do the following:

•Under the Boot menu in System Setup, set Diskette Drive as the first boot device (see “Using System Setup” on page 75 for information on setting options).

•Create a PHDISK disk.
