It does work on my machine as tied to the current power profile.

The W2K bettery meter works very well and even displays how many hours and
minutes left for the battery.

The BIOS is the one that uses the "hibernation partition" and there are
times that something will trigger this hibernation and possibly corrupt your
data that saved in the same region. To remove the parition, just use Win2K
disk manager to format the unused the parition.

There is none.

Win2K does not rely upon BIOS. If you format the drive in Win2K, you should
be able to get 20GB

Win2K is much better than other OSes I ran on my L100 provided you have
enough memory (64MB). I haven't tried WinME yet.
