Hi, I struggled mightily to create a hibernate file on my TP701 under OSR2 with FAT32 once. I finally had to set a small FAT16 partition as active with FDISK. That worked fine. So, have you tried that with your FAT partition? I'm not sure this approach would work as I don't know if your TP would still see the file once you set the boot partition back to NT... g'luck, Dale At 05:46 PM 8/1/97 -0400, David N.
