thanks for the comments.
if only i could get myself to pay for software that doesn't come w/
source...
i've already stepped over into the dark side by purchasing
vmware...can't wait for plex86 ;-)
the thing is, the version of phdisk i had didn't place the partition
at the end of the disk (well, it would have been at the end of an 8
gig disk, but my machine now has 12 gigs). i wish i knew how to make
phdisk specify a location of where to create the hibernation partition.
perhaps someone on this list knows?
as a side note, gnu parted didn't work very well for my hard disk
either -- something about not supporting partitions that didn't begin
on cylinder boundries...
