But I don't understand why there isn't a patition on my machine now as
it came from dell? I think that this S2D is not a real partition, but
like a file that you can put on a windows partition. Anyway I don't
think I will use this suspend a lot as I do not trust these things a lot
so I'll just go ahead a repartionate now.
