Installing an Operating System
When starting the Notebook PC for the first time, please be aware that you must have an Operating
System installed on the hard drive. You might have the Windows 95, Windows NT or MS-DOS already
installed on your Notebook PC. If your dealer did not install an operating system for you, please consult
your Operating System manual for instructions on how to install it well.
Hard Disk Reserved for Save-to-Disk Use
The Notebook PC supports the Advanced Power Management version 1.2 to save battery power and
extend the working hours. For executing one of the power saving suspend modes-”Save-to-Disk”, a
reserved space of hard disk is needed for saving the system status for resume before you start to format
and install the operating system onto your hard disk. Please follow the instructions listed below to make
a reserved space in your hard disk if you want the Notebook PC to support “Save-to-Disk” mode : (The
utility-”PHDISK.EXE” is included in the bundled Driver & Utility CD-ROM)
1. Boot the system with a Floppy diskette with DOS or Windows 95 booting system.
2. Locate the phdisk’s sub-directory of the Driver & Utility CD-ROM.
3. Run the “phdisk/create”.
4. Instructions covering installation will be displayed. Follow the instructions to finish and
check the reserved space with FDISK.EXE under DOS.
The PHDISK.EXE” will automatically define the space to be reserved for “Save-to-Disk” according to
the system memory size.
