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

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:

HDDPSAVE /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
