I am getting ready to try and do this with my Dell 7500 so I'm particularly interested in how to do this correctly. I have a 29gb hard drive, 512mb ram and (IIRC) a 16mb video card. So if I understand correctly I have to make a "Save to Disk" partition of 528mb. What I plan to do is this: 1) Make a 10gb FAT32 partition (so it can be mounted R/W from FreeBSD) for WinXP 2) Make a Save to Disk (S2D) partition 3) Install FreeBSD in the remaining space I have "D5788807.exe" and "Z5788807.exe" which I downloaded from Dell's website. I believe one of these will make the S2D partition. I have turned on 'Save to disk' (instead of save to ram) in the BIOS. How does WinXP know to use the partition and not create a hibernation file? For that matter, how does FreeBSD know to use it? What do I need to install once I get FBSD running to enable it? (I'm a relative newbie to FBSD, but I did get 4.8 installed on the machine without much trouble).
