7. Use FDisk to partition the rest of the hard disk
Reboot the computer as before. The system will reboot to the A: prompt.
Type “FDISK” and ‘Enter’ to run the standard FDISK disk-partitioning program. Select “1” to
create a new partition and then press ‘Enter’ in response to the series of questions that pop up on
screen. When FDISK is complete, it will automatically reboot the computer from the floppy
drive.
8. Format drive C:
Type “FORMAT C:/s/u” and press ‘Enter’
9. Copy the floppy files back to a hard disk DOS directory
Type “MD C:\DOS” and press ‘Enter’.
Type “COPY *.* C:\DOS” and press ‘Enter’.
Remove the floppy disk after there is no more drive activity and reboot your computer. You
should see the C: prompt.
10. Configure the system for Suspend-To-Disk
Run the system Setup program by pressing ‘Ctrl’ + ‘ALT’ + ‘S’.
Change the “Boot Drive Order” line back to “C: A:”.
Press ‘PgDn’ to go to Screen 2.
Select the “Suspend to” line and press the “+” (plus & equal sign)
Key until “Suspend-to-Disk” appears.
Press ‘Esc’ and ‘F4’ to save and exit. The system will reboot.
Selecting Suspend-to-Disk
You cannot select Suspend-to-Disk in the Setup program unless there is a Suspend-to-Disk partition on the hard disk and the
partition is large enough to support the current memory configuration – the BIOS automatically detects if the Suspend-to-Disk
partition exists and if it is big enough. If there is no partition or it is too small the BIOS will not allow you to select the Suspend-
to-Disk option.
11. Test the new Suspend-To-Disk partition
After the system has powered up, press the suspend button, and the system will now suspend to
disk. Push the button again to return to normal.
If the test is successful (it should be), go to the next step. If there is a problem, try repeating steps
5 through 11.
12. Restore your hard disk backup
