Turning Off the Hard Disk If you are running the computer on its battery and you do not need to use the hard disk, you can use the HDDPSAVE utility on the Reference diskette to turn off the hard disk to prolong the battery's charge. If you are using the AC adapter, you don't need to turn off the hard disk. You specify the amount of time (between 1 and 18 minutes) you want the computer to wait before it turns off the hard disk. After the hard disk drive is off, the computer must turn the hard disk back on to access it. So be sure to set a realistic time period. To specify a power-off time, type the following at the system prompt: HDDP SAVE /xx where xx can be any value from 1 to 18. Then press Enter. To keep the hard disk drive on at all times, type one of the following and press Enter: HDDPSAVE /0 HDDPSAVE /00 HDDPSAVE /ALL Modifying the AUTOEXEC.BAT File The SELECT program you use to install MS-DOS creates a file named AUTOEXEC.BAT on your hard disk.
