invalid hibernation partition/file????
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? |

Followed link.
Problem is there is no such option. Nothing looks close to an auto Save-to-file option. "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ...

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? -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "L.S." wrote in message ...

Sorry, that download from BootIt NG is a ZIP file. Unzip that to a new
folder and then run BOOTITNG.EXE file in that folder. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ...

invalid hibernation partition/file????
Here's what I've got.
D/L and copied to a floppy BootItng.exe. (had to d/l on another system) Made a bootable floppy when I installed Win98se. Problem is, Iv'e set BIOS to read floppy 1st, Cd 2nd and then HD but this system isn't following instructions. When the system starts, I can't hear either disk running and then I get error msg. I'm confused, when you say to make a bootable floopy unless you're taking about something other than the one I create with win98se. Also, run Bootitng.exe--- how when the system locks up even though I have the bootable floopy in the drive. "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ...

invalid hibernation partition/file????
Update 6/4.
Just got the laptop back and it's working. Gave it to a friend that works for a large City. He took it in to a couple of IT guys and it's back and working. Only problem is is I don't know what they did. Will try and find out. "L.S." wrote in message ... Received a donated laptop for our local historical society.

It *would* be nice to know what they did. Does BIOS look any different?

Bios looks the same.
Since I don't have the disks, I'm trying to load drivers which on this machine is a nightmare trying to find them. Would like to connect to net but having problems setting this thing up. Will let you know how I proceed. L. "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ... It *would* be nice to know what they did. Does BIOS look any different? -- Gary S.
