Default invalid hibernation partition/file????

My suggestion is to get a copy of BootIt NG from www.bootitng.com. No need
to pay, just download the EXE, make a bootable floppy or CD installer,
reboot to the floppy or CD and then CANCEL THE INSTALLATION! That will drop
you into Maintenance Mode where you can choose Partition Work. See what's
listed there in the middle panel. More than just the one partition where you
installed Win98? If so, please list them for us here, including name, size,
type.

What's the make/model of the machine?

Followed link.
Problem is there is no such option.
Nothing looks close to an auto Save-to-file option.

Received a donated laptop for our local historical society.
Reformatted HD, everything worked/loaded, but when I restart system it
locks up, no keyboard, nothing with the following msg.
"Invalid hibernation partition/file run hd-----"
I can get into BIOS, using Del key, but that's it.

I've tried to use the startup floppy that was created during Win install
but no go.
I've put in the win98se cd and still nothing.

Is this a win98se problem or did I do something?
