Replacing drive in T22 - hibernation concerns?

#1 Post by gregdelozier » Tue Mar 13, 2007 9:35 am

Hi,

I have a T22 that has a 20G hard drive in it, and I have a 60G drive I'd like to put in it.

GParted (A partition editor on a standalone Linux CD) says the 20G drive has one partition, and the 60G drive has no partitions on it, but both drives read a little small -- eg. 18.9g, 56.2g -- which may be just differences over what a Gigabyte is.

Anyway, I want to replace the drive, and am concerned that I need to create some sort of partition to support hibernation, or a local hibernation file, but can't find anything on the web about how to go about this. I'd hate to install and set up a large drive and find I can't hibernate the T22 any longer.

Any ideas?

Best wishes,

-greg

Yes, the size difference is based on the rough estimate of the amount of KBs or MBs in a GB.

As for creating a hibernation partition, no you don't need one. The hibernation files are created WITHIN the primary partition, as a single file.
