Creating an S2D File for Windows NT
Overview
If you are installing a new hard-disk drive or rebuilding one and you want to be able to use
suspend-to-disk (S2D) mode (called hibernate in the Microsoft® Windows® 98 operating
system), you must create an S2D file on the hard-disk drive. This allows all system data to be
stored in the S2D file whenever you activate S2D mode.
Creating an S2D File for Windows 95 or Windows 98
NOTE: The following procedure assumes that your hard-disk drive is already partitioned
and formatted. For information on partitioning and formatting your drive, see both your
operating system and your drive documentation.
To create the S2D file for computers running the Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system,
perform the following steps:
Insert the Dell System Software CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.1.
Turn on or restart the computer.2.
Press <F2> as soon as you see the Dell logo screen to enter the system setup program.
If you wait too long and the operating system begins to load into memory, let the
computer complete the load operation. Then shut down the computer and try again.

Enter the Boot screen, select ATAPI CD-ROM Drive, and move it to the first position in
the boot sequence.

Press <F10> to save the settings and exit the system setup program.
