32 System Utilities
PhDISK
The PhDISK utility allows your computer to enter Hibernation mode. Before
entering Hibernation mode, your computer saves all necessary information
into a file or partition created by PhDISK, then shuts off power to all system
components. On the next start-up, the computer reloads the information from
the PhDISK file or partition and resumes from where you left off.
Note:
By default, this utility program is automatically loaded and set up
on your computer, so you do not need to run it by yourself. You
only need to run this program if you upgrade your memory. You
can find PhDISK in the \windows\command\ directory.
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
Caution
: 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.
