which version of dos? DOS 6.22? win95 DOS? Win95b/98 DOS?
There are differences in each that make it important to know which you used.

thanks! Must have missed the post somehow. Anyways, good information to know,
and now, we're down to finding out just what happens when one uses a disk
manager program with any OS and hibernates.
I'll update my FAQ soon on this. Looks like everyone had better avoid the
entire 1000-1100 cylinder area just to be perfectly sure if they don't manually
go through and find out the exact location of the hibernation data area.
