Automatic Memory Size
Calculation
PHDISK automatically measures all system and video memory and calculates the
exact amount of hard disk space required to store the maximum amount of data
present in memory.
Micron has already placed a partition on your hard drive that will handle all the
way up to a fully populated 256MB system.
User-specified Memory Size
The user may specify a certain amount of memory to be allocated for the Save to
Disk function. However, the amount of space required to store all system and
video memory is calculated automatically, whenever the CREATE option is used,
even if the user specifies some desired amount.
If the amount specified by the user is equal to or greater than the calculated
amount, then the user-specified amount is allocated. If the user-specified amount
is less than the calculated amount, then no space is allocated, and an error
message is displayed. If you wish to allocate a specific amount of disk space for
this function, enter the amount in kilobytes, as a simple decimal number,
without
any notation such as
K
or
KB
.
/Partition or /P
PARTITION creates a hard disk partition where only Save to Disk data can be
stored.
/CREATE Option Syntax
The syntax of the PHDISK /CREATE option is:
PHDISK /CREATE [/PARTITION]
REFORMAT Option
The /REFORMAT option resets the pointers in a Save to Disk partition. This
option should be used after a Save to Disk operation is terminated by a read or
write error.
INFO Option
The /INFO option displays data about the Save to Disk partition or file.
