HDPREPEZ Utility

The power management state referred to as Save-To-File (STF) saves the system's current
working environment to the system's hard drive, then powers down the system to conserve
battery power. The HDPREPEZ function creates a file large enough (256 MB) to accommodate
the entire memory contents of your system. The STF file is created the first time that you run
your system's setup program.
