Hi Richard! What I found out about installing HD's > 8GB and hibernating: - Install the big disk - use DOS Fdisk to create partitions - use an operating system which does not use the BIOS for disk acccess to partition the rest of the HD. I used Win2k. Leave the amount of RAM + the amount of graphic memory free on the end of the existing partitions (should be near the 8G boarder) and create a new partition and fill it with data. - force hibernating by BIOS (may be done in DOS!) and check whether the partition above the 8G is destroyed. If the partition is destroyed, make the empty space a little bigger and test again. Note that partition boarders are only possible at Zylinder boarders. - Use a tool to look at the partitions, sectors, zylinders to understand the correspondence (g.g. DISKMAP from WinNT4 Res Kit or Partition Magic. Once You know, how to partition the disk, you dont have to do this time-comsuming method to find it out! But write down your results... For a Lib 110 with 64MB RAM and a IBM 20GB disk the hibernation partition starts at zylinder 1018, size is 9 zylinders. Within Win2k it is neccessary to allocate 71MB free space for hibernating. regards Gerhard
