______________________________ Note ______________________________
Run the PHDISK Utility from the DOS command line after booting your system. You
cannot run PHDISK by shelling out to a DOS window from within the Microsoft
Windows environment.
Suspend to Disk partition must be created before others areas of the hard disk are
partitioned.

PHDISK Auto Partitioning
To use the PHDISK automatic create feature type PHDISK /CREATE at the DOS command
prompt. The PHDISK utility will allocate a sufficient amount of disk space required for the
Suspend to Disk Time-out partition.
PHDISK Customized Partitioning
To determine the amount of space required for the Suspend to Disk Time-out partition use the
following equation.
Partition Size = [System memory (on board + DIMMs) + 2MB] * 1024
If your notebook is equipped with 40MB of memory, the correct partition size would be 43008
bytes; represented in equation form as (40MB + 2MB) * 1024.
To create a partition, for a system with 40MB of RAM, go to the DOS prompt and type the
command line: PHDISK /Create 43008 /Partition
