Maybe they've fixed this, maybe they haven't. :-) Since Dells generally don't come with a suspend-to-disk partition (they use a suspend file instead, but that only works under DOS), it's probably unsupported to use the partition (the option is there because they got it from Phoenix, their BIOS supplier). > > >Any help would be greatly appreciated.
