As Win98 hibernation question is not asked since long I can conclude that
there are no "normal" users left on this list.
More seriously you must use any partition utility that allows you manipulate
cylenders. I think that most secure option would be to leave space from 1010
to 1028 cylinders unpartitioned. I mentioned this before that I will not
proceed with disk editor until I get buckup everything. But if you wish you
can use Norton DiskEditor to verify where BIOS hibernates effectively. From
DOS this utility allows you access entire disk even without overlay
software. You sould just calculate from cyl/head/sect to relative sectors
then there is an option to "Fill" with any pattern. Leave Bios hibernate
then boot from DOS. There is only one thing I still doubt in this approach :
Windows always swaps some data in order to leave a few of RAM free.
Good luck,
Alexandre
