ThawSpace
e awSpace tab is used to create a virtual partition on a workstation that can be used to store
programs, save files, or make permanent changes. All files stored in the awSpace are saved aer a
restart, even if the workstation is Frozen.
Complete the following steps to create a awspace.
1. Check Include a awSpace to create a awSpace in the installation program.
e Host Drive is the workstation drive that is the source for the awSpace virtual partition.
It is automatically detected by Deep Freeze and cannot be changed.
2. e awSpace Drive option is used to select the drive letter assigned to the awSpace. e
default letter is T:, but it can be changed to any available letter. e next available letter is used
if the selected drive letter already exists on a workstation when Deep Freeze is installed.
3. e Size option is used to select the awSpace size. e minimum space allowed is 16MB.
Workstations running Windows 95, 98, or Me can host a maximum awSpace of 2GB.
Workstations running Windows 2000 or XP can host a maximum awSpace of 100GB
when using the NTFS file system or 4GB when using the FAT32 file system. If the workstation
does not have enough free space to accommodate the selected awSpace size, the size of the
awSpace is adjusted downward to ensure proper operation of the workstation.
4. Workstations running Windows 95/98/Me must use the FAT16 file system for a awSpace.
Workstations running Windows 2000/XP use the NTFS file system by default, but this can be
changed to FAT32 by selecting the radio button.
5. Check Retain Existing awSpace to retain an existing awSpace on a Windows 2000/XP
workstation when Deep Freeze is uninstalled.
If the option to include a awSpace has also been checked, the existing awSpace is retained
during re-installation. Deep Freeze always displays a dialog asking if the awSpace should
be retained or deleted during an Attended Uninstall, regardless of whether Retain Existing
awSpace has been checked.
