Where did my hibernate go??? I just ran a test and didn't get the expected result!!! Any suggestions? Here's what I did:- I've FDISK'd my 30GB HDD to the maximum size possible in my Libretto L110 - 7.79GB (FAT 32) Then I installed Win'2K, and added a second partition - 102MB (FAT 32) And then a third partition for the remainder - 20.5GB (FAT 32) I filled up the 102MB partition right to the brim with MP3's, then powered down completely, powered up to a DOS prompt (ie *not* to Windows) and then used the on/off switch to instigate a suspend-to-disk (hibernation). So this is supposed to be a BIOS hibernate... The hibernate animation appeared on screen accompanied by beeps, then the Libretto powered down. I powered on again, and the un-hibernate animation did its thing. So both hibernate and un-hibernate appeared to complete perfectly, and there were no error messages. Removed the battery and power supply (ie powered down without the on/off switch). Replaced the battery, connected power, and booted into Win'2K. Now this is the bit I didn't expect - Computer Management / Disk Management / Error Checking is reporting no errors on the 102MB (or anywhere else for that matter), and all the MP3's on the 102MB partition are 100% intact (I've even played them all end to end...) 8-| Am I missing something obvious??? _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
