If Auto Save to File is set to Off and the save-to-file area is present on your hard drive, pressing the Fn-Power/Sleepkey combination puts the system into Save to File mode. For details about using this parameter, see the section, “Managing System Power,” later in this chapter. For details about creating the save-to-file area, see the section, “HDPREPEZ Utility,” in Chapter 4.
