If you are installing a new hard-disk drive or rebuilding one and you want to be able to use suspend-to-disk (S2D) mode (called hibernate in the Microsoft Windows 98 operating system), you must create an S2D file on the hard-disk drive. This allows all system data to be stored in the S2D file whenever you activate S2D mode. NOTE: The following procedure assumes that your hard-disk drive is already partitioned and formatted. For information on partitioning and formatting your drive, see both your operating system and your drive documentation.
