Fubar,
Yep. If Win2000 wasn't running, the Libby would "hardware hibernate" as normal.
As I found out today, Win2000 doesn't always gets the chance to hibernate...
What happened was I set up Win2000 to hibernate when the battery power hit 1%. (Silly
me!) However my 110CT decided to hibernate via hardware before Win2000 had a
chance... So it is possible to have a hardware (i.e. Libby) hibernate in Win2000 but
only when the user is silly enough to set the power-off-when-battery-is-dead option to
a silly value...
But as I left a 100mb empty partition at the end of the "normal" 8Gb limit, the
remainder of the drive was fine after I stuffed my Libby in the mains. Win2000 wasn't
too happy however.. :o)

Interesting!
In fact, fascinating!!
I find that's often the case - something grabs my interest, and then -
slowly - it dawns on me just how far out of my depth I really am, and this
realisation warrants an immediate upgrade to "fascinating" status :-)
So, let me get this right.
If it overheated while Win'2K was up and running, no problem.
But in the event (maybe very unlikely event - but maybe...) that for
whatever reason, Win'2K was not up and running, it'd trash the area at
8.~Gb?
