Your hard disk drive is partitioned at the factory so that you can use the Instant On or Save to HDD options. A 25MB area of your disk is set aside for the saved data; this ensures that there is enough space for all memory configurations. Because this area is a non-DOS partition, it is invisible to your DOS-based software. The amount of disk space available to you for normal data storage is reduced. To prepare your hard disk drive, you need to run the PHDISK utility, located in the C:\ PM directory. Type the following command at the DOS prompt and press Enter: PHDISK/CREATE If you want to reclaim some of the hard disk space, you can run FDISK. Be sure to back up your entire hard drive before you begin; FDISK will erase all data on the disk. You will have to reinstall DOS from diskettes and then restore your hard drive files. See your MS-DOS on-line help utility for more information. Using the APM Interface In addition to your computer's power management features, your system also supports the Intel/ Microsoft Advanced Power Management (APM) interface, version 1.0 or higher. This interface enhances your system's power-saving abilities by providing increasing inactivity detection and lower CPU power states without degrading performance. APM is supported by MS-DOS versions 6.0 and higher, OS/ 2, and Windows 3.1. APM is already enabled in the versions of MS-DOS and Windows installed on your computer. MS-DOS provides APM through the POWER.EXE utility. See your MS-DOS on-line help utility for more information about POWER.EXE. 3-10 Powering the Computer
