Thanks Russ...

It was one of those things where once you posted this...  my
brain snapped back into place.

This notebook has a maximum amount of ram of 40mgs.  So,
I removed the partition I built, then created a new primary partition
45mgs less than the size of the hard drive, (97% of the size of the
hard drive).  Restarted the computer and my *WARNING* message
did not reappear.  The bios could use the 45mgs of unpartitioned
hard drive space for the Suspend to Disk function.

Thanks again.
