This > seems like an awful lot of work. You can boot a DOS floppy and run PS2 from floppy just fine. However, you must have a FAT partition on which to place the hibernation file. So, for convenience, I suggested having that same FAT partition be bootable and contain the PS2 utility. (The PS2 utility can be used to set things other than the hibernation file, although almost all of them can be done equally well via the BIOS setup screen.) Cheers, -- Jacques A.
