Subject: Re: The never ending story: Hibernation and the correct partitioning
Besides Ontrack's and IBM's disk manager program which will let any computer
use >8GB HDs, there's this post earlier this year:
Just installed the Tosh 12mb drive in my L100 on Monday. I'm running Win95 in
my
Libretto and Win98 in my desktop, which may or may not be relevant. After a
few
gyrations, I have a 12gb partition with 78mb free at the end and suspend/resume
works perfectly, and faster than before.
The successful procedure boiled down to this:
In the L100, using the Toshiba Companion Diskette or a boot disk with fdisk and
format, make a primary partition with fdisk to max size. Then format c: /s. I
think this would also work in the desktop. After this, I had an 8gb partition.
I then transferred the drive to my desktop computer, using a 3.5 to 2.5
adapter.
With Partition Magic 4.0, I was able to enlarge the partition to 12gb, leaving
78mb
free space at the end. I had previously backed up my 4 gig drive to a hard
drive in
the desktop, so, after a restore to the new drive, it was just a matter of
re-inserting it to the Libretto and booting.
Works fine. The 12gb drive is a sliding fit, whereas the smaller drives were a
loose fit.
One humorous thing, I actually used a boot disk from my desktop, so when the
Lib was
booting it said "Starting Windows 98." Restoring the io.sys file took care of
that.
Another strange item is that PM 4.0 on the Libretto only sees 8gb, while on
the
desktop it sees 12gb.
My file manager and everything else I've checked sees 12gb, though
