Hello Philip Nienhuis and thank you again for additional information.
You're welcome.

For testing and information gathering I used your (Philip Nienhuis) method,
inside another Libretto 100CT, I created the largest partition FDISK would
allow. (20GB Toshiba HD was used for testing)
FDISK reports "Total disk space is 7978Mbytes (1Mbyte = 1048576 bytes)"
Sounds familiar :-)
On my current working 100Gig HDD, the first partition I created with Data
Lifeguard Tools is seen by FDISK as 7538Mbytes and again FDISK is reporting
the Total Disk Space is 7978Mbytes (1 Mbyte = 1048576)
Makes sense.
I realize the method you (Philip Nienhuis) stated would be more disk space
efficient. Though less efficient, my current HDD setup should theoretically
have plenty of space for my BIOS Hibernation file with a 500 meg (meg=1048Kb)
gap there. In my current understanding, as long as the start of my second
partition is out of reach of the Hibernation BIOS Routines +/- 8Gig bug, it
should be safe. Based on the above information, does anyone disagree? :)
No. After all, 100GB is a lot. 0.5 GB less wouldn't be discernable.
Success,
Philip
