reating the Save-to-Disk

Suspend File

If you are installing a new hard-disk drive or if you are
rebuilding a hard-disk drive with corrupted software and
you want to be able to use the save-to-disk suspend
mode, you must use the phdisk.exe utility on your Sys-
tem Utilities
diskette to create a save-to-disk suspend file.
When save-to-disk suspend mode is activated, all system
data is stored in this file.

To create the save-to-disk suspend file, follow these
steps:

1.

Insert the System Utilities diskette into the dis-
kette drive.

2.

Restart your computer.

3.

At the MS-DOS

®

prompt, type a:to ensure that

you are accessing files from the diskette drive.

4.

Type PHDISK/CREATE /FILE and press
<Enter>.

NOTE: Make sure there is a space between
PHDISK/CREATE

and /FILE.

The utility will calculate the size of the file, in kilo-
bytes, based on the amount of system memory in
your computer, plus 2 MB to handle video memory
and additional system requirements.

5.

Follow the instructions on your screen to create
the save-to-disk suspend file.

To check the size of the save-to-disk suspend file,
type PHDISK/INFO at an MS-DOS prompt and
press <Enter>.

If you need to delete the save-to-disk suspend file,
type PHDISK/DELETE /FILE at an MS-DOS
prompt and press <Enter>.
