Interesting ideas, but it'll be a while before I can try it. Work getting in the way. I have limited access to the other machine (and very limited time). I like the idea of copying the PM_HIBER.BIN, though. The machine is identical to mine WRT Memory. I set up my Win2K partition as FAT32 rather than NTFS with a plan of using Hibernation. I learned the hard way about Hibernation not liking NTFS with an NT v4.0 dual-boot TP600X :-) Regards, K^2 > What happens if you switch the hard drives between the two T21's?
