The only problem there is: what does the bios think it is? If it still sees it as a 1.6G (you could check through the bios page) then 1.6G is where it will hibernate to, not necessarily the same place as your hibernation partition reserved when you did the linux install. Linux doesn't use the bios to check disk size :) > >I wonder what would happen if I installed M$ Win* on the desktop PC and >transfered it to the Lib? Not the best way - you'll spend half a day chasing drivers. Format it on the lib, make it dos bootable on the desktop, and copy the CD into a win9x directory, put it back in the lib, and run setup.exe from there. Make sure you have the serial numbers to hand, and remember some versions (OEM?) won't load if it already has an operating system (Thanks, MS!) - so you'll need to boot from a floppy perhaps (the ms setup floppy, you can create one iirc on the desktop).
