You'll need a disk manager program like that available from Ontrack, or use
an OS like Linux or Windows 2K, which bypasses what the BIOS tells the Libretto
and reads the HD information directly.
You'll also need to create two partitions. The first a few dozen/hundred MB
before the 8.4GB limit; the second a few dozen/hundred MB after. In Linux, you
can use the previously posted methods (search Libretto Mailing List archives)
to determine exactly where the hibernation area is saving to; for everyone
else, it's best to waste a few dozen/hundred MB just to be absolutely sure
you're not going to be overwritten by the hibernation data. It does vary from
HD to HD according to the information posted by Linux users, so you must be
careful here.
