Note
If you select Suspend to Disk as your suspend mode but do
not create the Suspend to Disk data file, the computer uses
Suspend to Memory mode until you create the file.
The hard disk drive includes a Suspend to Disk data file
allocation utility called 0VMAKFIL.EXE that you can use to
create, remove, and recreate the Suspend to Disk data file.
Follow the instructions below to create the file on your hard
disk drive.
You may need to remove and recreate the file later if you use
any doubling software, such as the MS-DOS DRVSPACE
utility, or if you increase or decrease the size of your system
memory. See “Recreating the Suspend to Disk data file” on
page 3-19 for instructions.
