Expanding the Hibernate Partition on an
OmniBook XE
You can create the Hibernate partition by booting from the Recovery CD. The partitioning and
recovery process takes approximately 20 minutes—do not interrupt the process or unplug the AC
adapter until the process is completed.
CAUTION: This procedure will format the hard disk drive and erase all data
on the disk. Be sure to back up all data from your hard disk before you
begin this procedure. After the hard disk drive is formatted, you'll need to
reinstall any applications.
To expand the hibernate partition
1. Back up all data from your hard disk.
2. If you wish to install additional RAM, do so now.
3. Connect the AC adapter to the OmniBook.
4. Insert the bootable Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive.
5. Restart the computer and, when you see the HP logo, press ESC twice.
6. Select the CD-ROM drive as the boot device, and press ENTER.
7. Select your keyboard layout, and press ENTER, and follow the onscreen instructions.
8. When prompted, select Create Hibernate Partition. Accept the recommended hibernate
partition size.
The size is calculated automatically based on your total RAM; for example, if you use two
128 KB memory cards, it is 256 KB. The Hibernate partition is never smaller than 192 KB.
The file system for Windows 98 can be FAT16 or FAT32.
