To My knowledge &nbsp;....there should be no &nbsp; save2dsk.bin &nbsp;....<br />
<br />
its not a windows file....it could be a virus...or a spyware...etc..<br />
<br />
I would recomend &nbsp;you to &nbsp;scan for virus....and ...spywares...etc...<br />
<br />
<br />
any good anti-virus program like..<br />
Norton antivirus......Mcafee's scan &nbsp;of &nbsp;pc-Cillin &nbsp;should do the job..<br />
<br />
<br />
for spywares....Ad-Aware from &nbsp;<a href="http://www.lavasoftusa.com" rel="ugc">www.lavasoftusa.com</a> &nbsp;is a recommended one..<br />
<br />
<br />
hope it helps..<br />

Do you have nero burning rom or some other burning program on your computer, something.bin could be a cd-image, I suggest you try renaming the file, if you don't have any problems after you've done this, you can safely delete it.<br />

Yep looks like a CD image file - try something like ISOBuster to examine what it is &amp;&nbsp;if not needed delete away!<br />

this file is for hibernation on his laptop. It can be deleted, but it may be recreated if the laptop &quot;goes to sleep&quot;<br />

yes &nbsp;My fellow &nbsp;phillby11 &nbsp;is right.....<br />
<br />
<br />
for laptop computer &nbsp; it does create &nbsp;this file....basically used for &nbsp;hibernation mode..<br />
<br />
<br />
but there are conflicting....arguments &nbsp;about its relevance... some say its neccessary....and have even quoted incidents where they were unable to start &nbsp;their system....and like some suggested...its normally recreated if &nbsp;deleted...<br />
<br />
...so better safe then sorrow....leave it as it is...<br />
<br />
<br />
and I thank...my fellow for I learned something from them..<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
hope it helps..

I agree with the latter. I prefer to dump hibernate due to problems, but mainly only run desktops. There are other ways to gain space, such as deleting temporary files and uninstalling product not used. I also do not have 98, so go along with better safe than sorry. Try to prove it out should be as simple as reviewing Explorer fields, such as when the file was created. The hibernate file such be copy of your RAM, and sized accordingly.

I just found this line in an autoexec.bat file:<br />
<br />
if not exist C:\SAVE2DSK.BIN c:\windows\phdisk /CREATE /FILE /EXIT <br />
<br />
It is for your save to disk utility.

Thanks, webhat. But can I impose on you to explain. &nbsp;As you can see from the thread the advice on deleting SAVE2DSK.BIN goes both ways and I have not deleted it.

I am getting pressed for space on my hard drive and was surprised to see that save2dks.bin uses 143+mb. &nbsp;I have a 6gb drive and am afraid to delete the file. &nbsp;I run win98.<br />
Please advise and thanks.<br />

Do I need save2dsk.bin?

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
