Hello,

I recently upgraded my Vibrant LS from 128 to 256 Meg.
Memory was recognised without incident. But upon boot
up, a message (followed by a beep) said the
suspend-to-disk partition is too small and to run the
V0MAKFIL program.

I use Partition Magic 4.0, move my C up by 140 and ran
(after rebooting with the provided power util floppy)
"V0MAKFIL -P260". It complained about another
partition present. I went back to PM and delete the
original 140 Meg partition, now my disk looks like this:

* free space - 287 M
* C: 5900M (approx.)

I then reboot with the power utility disk and ran
"V0MAKFIL -P260". It came back and simply said
"SOMETHINE WENT WRONG" and did not do anything further.

I did consult the included docs and the only thing
I can find about re-creating a suspend-to-disk partition
is in the little sheet describing how tore-install Win98.
Naturally I do not want to do that (I just added more RAM).

I tried www.transmondesos.net and the site seemed to be
down or busy. I will try that tonight. In the meantime,
I was hoping there is a real simple answer to my problem.
I am not very PC savvy, so I beg your parden if this is
a too simple problem.

Thanks in advance,

Kawah
