Maybe they only fixed it where it recognizes it. I think that the BIOS only likes to recognize 16 bit FAT. I now have a 40MB partition (drive D:), with some small things and a 13MB hibernation file. Also, if it interests anyone, apparently when IBM says the hibernation file is to be the size of the RAM + 1 meg, I heard that the 1meg is for the video RAM.
