ThawSpace
The
ThawSpace
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 ThawSpace are saved after a
restart, even if the workstation is Frozen.
Complete the following steps to create a Thawspace.
1. Check
Include a ThawSpace
to create a ThawSpace in the installation program.
The
Host Drive
is the workstation drive that is the source for the ThawSpace virtual partition.
It is automatically detected by Deep Freeze and cannot be changed.
2. The
ThawSpace Drive
option is used to select the drive letter assigned to the ThawSpace. The
default letter is
T:
, but it can be changed to any available letter. The next available letter is used
if the selected drive letter already exists on a workstation when Deep Freeze is installed.
3. The
Size
option is used to select the ThawSpace size. The minimum space allowed is 16MB.
Workstations running Windows 95, 98, or Me can host a maximum ThawSpace of 2GB.
Workstations running Windows 2000 or XP can host a maximum ThawSpace 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 ThawSpace size, the size of the
ThawSpace 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 ThawSpace.
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 ThawSpace
to retain an existing ThawSpace on a Windows 2000/XP
workstation when Deep Freeze is uninstalled.
If the option to include a ThawSpace has also been checked, the existing ThawSpace is retained
during re-installation. Deep Freeze always displays a dialog asking if the ThawSpace should
be retained or deleted during an Attended Uninstall, regardless of whether
Retain Existing
ThawSpace
has been checked.
