D.1.4 Important ASTDK Notes
1. If you do not specify any parameter when you run ASTDK under the
DOS prompt and you have already generated the reserved area in
your hard disk, this utility will prompt you with the current size of the
reserved area.
2. Reserved areas are stored in the format: a system/hidden/read-only file
in the hard disk.
3. When using the /CREATE parameter for creating reserved disk
spaces, this program adds more values, including VIDEO MEMORY,
SM RAM, HEADER information as well as space for cluster alignment,
to the size value that you assign. Default values for these items are:
VIDEO MEMORY : 1024KB
SM RAM : 64KB
HEADER : 1 sector of the hard disk used
4. This utility runs under DOS, Windows 3.1 DOS prompt, and Windows
95 DOS prompt environment only. (OS/2 is not supported)
5. If your hard disk with the reserved area is switched for use on another
machine, you can use the ASTDK command directly on that machine
to make the new system aware of the entry point for the reserved area.
