So it seems you'll have to repartition your drive to restore the
hibernate partition.  What's so special about it that you can't create
this partition under Linux?

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and
any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to
run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.
This is obviously impossible.
