Where is it available? Last one I downloaded insisted on a "C:" FAT

I have a ThinkPad T22 which has an external USB floppy.  I was surprised 
to see that Warp supported the USB FD and Win98 did not!  Is your boot 
problem with OS/2 or Windows?

Can you boot from the USB floppy? Say a DOS boot diskette.


FWIW, my T22 hybernates just fine... I shrunk the preloaded Win98 
partition using Partition Magic 6.0 and then installed Win2K, MCP2, and 
Mandrake.  The trick is just letting the hybernation file live in the 
Windoze partition... are you absolutely determined to get rid of yours?

The T40 comes with XPee, and it could only be shrunk to 6.3 Gb! I couldn't fit a comfortable 2Gb partition for eCS below the 8Gb mark so that it would boot, so I blew it away. The preload Windows partition is immediately reformatted to NTFS when you start it up, so I'm not sure that hibernation is available in that setup in any case.

I could certainly set up a 1Gb DOS "C:" partition, but I would have trouble loading DOS as I only have diskettes for this, and I'm not sure it could handle a 1GB drive. Win98 you could install from a CD, but as you say, it doesn't support the USB floppy.

I tried creating a DOS bootable CD with RSJ CDWriter, worked to start boot, but it stalled once it started booting, but I may have messed something up in the setup.

I'm open to suggestion. Its not a real burning issue with the great battery life of the T40, but it would really be nice to have hibernation available.
