Quote from MyPctools.co.uk :

"...Toshiba laptops have a “suspend” mode, which allows the laptop to conserve battery power when not in use. This mode demands the use of a special system file, called TOSHIBA.DAT. This file must not be defragmented or moved to another physical location on disk, as the laptop operating system requires that it be in the original physical location on the disk..."
