Instant On works through the same process as
Save to HDD, except that your data is saved to
disk when you press the Suspend/Resume
button. Before you can use either of these
features, you have to configure your hard disk
drive.
The drive is already partitioned to set aside a
26MB area for the saved data (allowing space
for all memory configurations). This area is
invisible to your software, and the amount of
disk space available to you for normal data
storage is reduced.
The PHDISK program formats the partition on
your hard disk drive. After you run this
program, you can use the Save to Disk and
Instant On functions available on the Power
Management screen. These options take effect
immediately. You might need to run this
utility again if you change the memory size.
Run the PHDISK utility program by typing the
following commands at the DOS prompt:
CD\PM
PHDISK/CREATE
If you install a new hard disk drive, run FDISK
or the operating system’s installation program
to create a 26MB partition. After you install
the operating system, run PHDISK to configure
the partition.
