[ltp] more hibernation problems - this time with X21

[Kevin Krause]

I don't have a floppy drive for my Laptop, so I did this (and the numerous
previous attempts) from a DOS that I installed on the initial FAT
partition that also contains the original W2K, to which I copied the files
from the disk that I created on another computer. Using Linux, I created a
397827k (the minimum size proposed by phdisk) file named save2dsk.bin on
the FAT partition and ran phdisk again. Got told that there's not enough
continuous disk space. When I tried to boot into W2K to defrag, it
wouldn't boot cause it says some DLLs are missing, so obviously phdisk
screwed my installation. Hm. I guess I'll give up at this moment, try to
restore the W2K install and go watch TV (equally futile, less
frustrating). 
Many thanks to you all for your suggestions anyway!
