I want to run a few things by the list to make sure I have it right. I have a 12 GB drive in my 70ct, but may buy a 20 next week...plan shouldn't change... I currently have one big FAT32 partition, and I have disabled suspend from the start menu. Unfortunately as I found out, you can disable it from the start menu, but if it overheats it will suspend anyway! Doh, there go some MP3's!!! Anyway, I want to redo it and do it right this time. If I boot to a win98 floppy and make a fat32 partition that fills the entire visible drive (no BIOS extension utilities loaded), it will be the right size for the libretto to still have a suspend area afterwards, right? If I then use Linux to leave 40 or so meg free after the fat32 partition and then use the rest of the drive for linux, it should be fine, right? I know Linux doesn't use BIOS, but the question is does LILO use BIOS? In other words, can I use the entire drive visible to BIOS for WIN98, then have LILO switch boots between 98 on the part visible to BIOS and Linux on the part invisible to BIOS will LILO see the rest of the drive? If not, then all I need is 50 meg or so in the visible part for /boot and then the rest can be on the 'invisible' part, right? Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice. About 8 months ago I posted a way on the list to disble suspend from the start menu. It was a hack and didn't work very well (occasionally came back). Although I won't do it anymore (above problem with overheating suspend) I did find the right way to do it and thought I would share it: do a registry search for a key called "APMMenuSuspend" and change the value from 01 to 00.
