Creating a Save to Disk Partition

Save To Disk Partition enables you to store data from the system and video memory to hard drive during Save To Disk mode for computer shipped with Windows 95, 98 installed. Windows Me does not need this partition.

If you want to use a new hard drive to your system, you need to create a Save to Disk Partition area on the new hard drive.

See the below notes and cautions before partitioning your HDD;

•Back up data files of your old hard drive.

•If you do not intend to use Save to Disk mode, you do not need to create a Save to Disk Partition.

•For system boot with CD-ROM, under the Boot menu in System setup, set Bootable CD Check to Enabled and set Boot Device Priority ordered starting from [DVD/CD-ROM]. Use DVD Software CD in this process.

•Before you set partition and format HDD, set Fixed Disk Boot Sector to Normal in Security menu of System setup.
