Default 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.

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?

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.

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.

You run BOOTITNG.EXE on the system you used to download it, and it make's
its own bootable floppy (or CD.) You then put that floppy in the problem
machine and boot to it. Once it finishes loading, the first dialogue you get
will be to install BootIt NG (BING) and that's where you Cancel the
installation.

Sorry for the less than clear instructions.

Followed your instructions but still no go.

I went into BIOS and set floopy to be "1st Boot Device", inserted floppy and
restarted system.
After intitial startup, goes straight to error msg.

Sorry for the delays, work.

Not sure exactly what make this thing is.No markings on case.
The only info is on a plate on bottom of system and it's stated "Personal
Computer Model No. N340S8".
Another problem is that this was donated and they isn't any disks, etc. that
came with it.
