PHDISKF Utility
You will need to create a DOS File segment on your hard drive in order to take advantage
of the Save to Disk Power Management Feature. The DOS file can be created before or
after you install your operating system. Creating the DOS file after the installation of
your operating system will NOT erase any data from the hard drive. For the purpose of
these instructions, we have decided to first create the DOS file and then install the
operating system. To use the PHDISKF utility, please refer to the following instructions:
1. Insert the Digital System CD into the CD-ROM tray. The CD should boot to
the A:\ prompt. At the A:\, type PHDISKF /create 86016
There needs to be a space between the words “PHDISKF” and
“/create” and a space between “/create” and “86016”.
2. Press <Enter>.
86016 represents the size of the DOS file to be create in bytes. The equation for
determining the DOS file size is 1024 * (80MB + 4MB). 1024 is the number of bytes per
MegaByte, 80MB is the maximum amount of system memory and the additional 4MB is
for overhead.
Before you can load the Microsoft Operating System onto the hard drive, you must first
load the CD-ROM driver from the Digital System CD to your hard drive. It is located in
the Driver directory.
Installing Your Operating System
To install either Win95 or Windows NT on to your hard disk, please refer to the following
instructions.
Setting up Win95
1. Insert the Microsoft Windows CD which came with your system into the CD-
ROM module.
2. From the DOS prompt, type the letter which represents your CD-ROM drive,
then a colon and a backslash. For example, if your CD-ROM is labeled drive
D, type D:\
3. Then type the command: win95\setup Assuming drive D is your CD-ROM,
your screen should look like this:
D:\win95\setup
4. Press <Enter>. Follow the instructions which appear on-screen to complete the
installation. Please refer to Microsoft User documentation for additional
information.
5. Locate the directory on the Microsoft O/S CD labeled, windows\options\cabs.
Copy this directory to the drive where your operating system is located, most
likely drive C:\ You will need the files in this directory when installing certain
drivers, i.e. network drivers.
