Nik, Two more thoughts on your suspend to disk problem: 1) Did you add extra RAM? If you do this it is necessary to delete the original suspend to disk partition [any tool will do], and then add a newly sized partition [phdisk.exe] I have done this on two machines before with no problem; I did have to shrink the other partitions first. 2) Did you install FreeBSD to take the entire HD, or to co-exist with win95/98? If you take the entire disk option I believe it will wipe out all other partitions, including the suspend to disk partition. >The suspend to disk has always used a separate partition on my >machines, of a separate type which the BIOS recognizes.
