Lee, in your reply below you say: > And don't forget to reserve the 1010-1040 cylinder area for hibernation if > your HDD is >8GB. There are a number of posts available in the archives on > this topic. Is there something special I have to do while installing the BIOS to assign the cylinder area mentioned? The 100CT has a 6G drive on it now. So will these settings get copied from my current 6.5 version of the BIOS? Any other special things to set up in the BIOS window? Sorry, I just want to make sure I get this right before I dive in.
