Portable Computers User's Guide
Suspend-to-Disk Utility
The Suspend-to-Disk (S2D) utility allows you to manage the S2D partition in your file system as your computing needs change. For instance, you
can remove the S2D partition if you need the space on the hard-disk drive for other purposes, or you can use the S2D utility to create the partition
if you have removed it.
Removing the S2D Partition
If you want to use the S2D partition on your hard-disk drive for another purpose (for instance, if you are running out of file space), perform the
following steps to remove the partition:
1. At an MS-DOS®prompt, type cd c:\dell\util and press <Enter> to change to the directory on your hard-disk drive that contains the
S2D utility files.
If you are using an operating system that is not compatible with MS-DOS, see the readme.s2d file for instructions.
2. Type rms2d and press <Enter>.
Status messages appear on the display as the removal process progresses. When the S2D partition has been removed, the following
message appears:
The S2D partition was successfully removed.
Creating the S2D Partition
The mks2d.exe file creates the S2D partition the computer uses to store the system data that is saved when you put the computer in S2D mode.
Use the mks2d.exe file to create a new S2D partition in the following cases:
l If Dell did not install MS-DOS on your hard-disk drive
l If you increase the amount of system memory by adding a memory module
l If you used the rms2d.exe file to remove the original S2D partition and now want to recreate the partition
l If your hard-disk drive becomes corrupted
l If you install a new hard-disk drive
l If you received the system utilities separately on diskette or if you deleted the S2D utility from your hard-disk drive
To create an S2D partition, perform the following steps.
1. At an MS-DOS prompt, type cd c:\dell\util and press <Enter> to change to the directory on your hard-disk drive that contains the
S2D utility files.
2. Type mks2d and press <Enter>.
As the utility builds the partition, status messages appear on the display. If an error message appears, it provides information about
which steps to take to continue building the partition.
When the S2D partition has been built and verified, the following message appears:

Creating the S2D Partition
NOTE: After you remove the S2D partition, the computer cannot enter S2D mode until you recreate the partition. If you try to enter S2D
mode and receive the message No Suspend-To-Disk partition available, you must create an S2D partition.
NOTE: If you are creating the partition on a new hard-disk drive, if Dell did not install MS-DOS on your hard-disk drive, or if you are
using an operating system that is not compatible with MS-DOS, read the readme.s2d file before performing the following procedure.
