Using Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator
ThawSpace
ThawSpace is a virtual partition that can be used to store programs, save files, or make permanent
changes. All files stored in the ThawSpace are retained after a restart, even if the computer is
Frozen. A ThawSpace can be created on a drive that is configured to be Frozen or Thawed.
To create a single ThawSpace or multiple ThawSpaces using the Configuration Administrator,
complete the following steps:
1. Select the Drive Letter. The default letter is T:. However, it can be changed to any available
letter. The next available letter is automatically used if the selected drive letter already exists
on a computer when Deep Freeze is installed.
— When a Drive Letter is selected from the drop-down and used to create a ThawSpace, it is
removed from the drop-down.
— When a ThawSpace is removed, the corresponding Drive Letter is added back to the
drop-down.
— The Drive Letter cannot be same as the Host Drive.
2. Enter the Size. This is the size of the ThawSpace. The maximum size is 1024 GB and the
minimum size is 16MB.
— If the computer does not have enough free space to accommodate the selected ThawSpace
size, the size of the ThawSpace is adjusted downward to ensure proper operation of the
computer.
— If you select the Size less than 16MB, the ThawSpace is set to 16MB.
— If you select the Size more than 1024GB (1TB), the ThawSpace is set to 1024GB (1TB).
