SYMPTOMS
After you compress the hard disk on your IBM ThinkPad computer, the IBM
ThinkPad Hibernation file may no longer work.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the compression driver (Dblspace.bin or
Drvspace.bin) is not loaded in memory when the ThinkPad computer attempts
to load the Hibernation file from the compressed volume. Because the
compression driver is not loaded, the compressed volume cannot be read and
the Hibernation file cannot be located.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this situation, increase the size of the host drive (thereby
decreasing the size of the compressed drive) by an amount equal to the
amount of RAM in the computer. Then, change the following line in the
Autoexec.bat file from
c:\thinkpad\ps2 hfile c
to
c:\thinkpad\ps2 hfile <host drive letter>
where <host drive letter> is the letter of the host drive.
