Subject: Re: Lost hibernate on 70CT
Hi,
I changed TO 6.40 from 6.20, not the other way around. I make a habit
of keeping the BIOS of all my PC's up to date. The manufacturers don't
always include all the bug fixes/update information in the readme files for
the updates so they often fix/enhance more than they say they will. To be
honest there is probably no real reason to upgrade. If I remember rightly
the 6.40 upgrade fixes a problem with certain boot floppies clearing the
BIOS password.
If you do upgrade you may not be able to go back. I tried it as a potential
cure for my hibernate problem but all that happened was my C drive was no
longer recognised as a system disk. Going back to 6.40 thankfully cured it.
I think that the conversion of the drive to FAT32 was what caused the
problem tho'.
Jim.
