PhDISK
The PhDISK utility allows your computer to enter hibernation mode. Before
entering hibernation mode, your computer saves all necessary computer
information into a file or partition created by PhDISK, then shuts off power to
all system components. On the next startup, the computer reloads the
information from the PhDISK file or partition and resumes from where you left
off.
Note: By default, this program is automatically loaded and set up on your
computer so you do not need to run this program by yourself. You
only need to run this if you upgrade your memory. You can find
PhDISK in the \windows\command\ directory.
The program accepts the following parameters:
Syntax
PHDISK [options]
where options:
•
/CREATE (/FILE or /PARTITION) creates the hibernation file or
partition
•
/DELETE (/FILE or /PARTITION) deletes the hibernation file or partition
•
/INFO displays information on the hibernation file or partition
•
/REFORMAT PARTITION reformats the existing hibernation file or
partition
Note: The Hibernation file is a hidden file named SAVE2DSK.BIN; DO
NOT delete or alter this file in any way except by using the PHDISK
utility. Improper deletion or alteration of this file could cause you to
lose all access to your computer.
Example:
•
C:/phdisk/create/file
•
C:/phdisk/create/partition
