I gave it a final try and mounted an empty disk into my laptop.

Using the MKS2D.EXE found on the Dell support site I created a hibernation
partition on the beginning of the disk (It needs to be within 8 GB of the
start of the disk).

And guess what... I can now suspend to disk using "acpiconf -s 4", no more
shutting down for me! ;-)

I created a nice script that modifies boot0 before and after calling
"acpiconf -s 4" so that the suspend partition only shows when you are
rebooting after a suspend. I will post that later, it's on my other disk
that is not mounted now.

Happy, (Well, I still have to repartition my laptop, but ok ... )

Mark
