From what I've read of your posts, Orest, I'd have to suggest using a second drive as a spare onto which you could copy your JFS data. BTW, you cpould always boot OS/2 to a command prompt and run DFSee from there, but of course, running DFSee is not your problem. Dealing with the partition restrictions - and antiquated DOS requirements - is. Yes, the JFS data is not so much a problem, it can be backedup and restored in a variety of ways. The problem is moving the active booted C: partition, without access to a floppy boot. As I noted in my last post, the trick was to create a tiny primary FAT partition and run DOS Partition Magic from there, after booting from the Win98 CD. I'm still rather curious about this LVM-aware hibernation driver, though... It's not so much that the hibernation facility is LVM aware, it is just that it doesn't really care about the rest of the disk, once it is set up in its FAT or FAT32 partition, there is probably a pointer in system memory that indicates which sectors on the drive to dump the memory to. It won't work in an HPFS or NTFS partition, and I expect that that is a problem with the hibernation pseudo-partition setup installer, rather than the memory dumper part of it. Randy was saying it is working fine on his machine with BM installed. I can let you know if I'm successful doing the same if you wish. What kind of Thinkpad are you using? * Orest =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to steward@2rosenthals.com with the command "unsubscribe os2-wireless_users" in the body (omit the quotes).
