Subject: Re: hibernation solution
Here is my simple solution:
(1) attach the HDD to Lib and run FDISK to allocate the primary partition to
the maximum it can handle.
(2) attach the HDD to desktop machine with Win2K and create a dummy
partition of size 150MB right after the first partition created by Lib. This
is the space for hibernation data. I figure 150MB should be enough.
(3) Create and format a third partition from Win2K right after the dummy
partition.
I ran Win2K on my L100 so there is no problem seen the extended partition.
