•If you purchased a new hard drive, make sure that you create a save to disk partition equal to the amount of system memory plus the amount of video memory plus 2 MB before you enable save to disk mode. See ” Creating a Save to Disk Partition” on page 81 for more information.

•Do not try to resume to full-power mode using battery power if the battery charge is low. If the battery charge is too low, the system may not be able to resume fully. Plug in the power cord if your computer cannot resume normal operation because of a low battery charge.

When your computer is in power on suspend or save to disk mode, do not connect or remove any devices (including PC Cards or memory modules) because you may damage the computer or resume to full power may fail. If a floppy disk is in the floppy drive, do not remove it or switch it with another disk. However, you can plug in the AC adapter if the resume to full power fails because of a low battery charge. When the computer is in save to disk mode, you can remove and replace the battery.
