Pete-

Dell has a utility (somewhere) that will create a suspend-to-disk
partition as the first partition (it must be before the 8.4GB limit
stuff).  The phdisk.exe that comes with the TR (somewhere) and other
machines with the Phoenix BIOSputs it at the end of the harddrive, 
but this is worthless on your 12GB HDD.  (I have a copy of phdisk that
I grabbed from IBM or Dell support ... snork :).  I could ask about the
BIOS utility.
