or a hibernation file on the first fat16 or fat 32 slice. if you want to
keep windows for the occasional firmware upgrade, you may want to convert
the windwos filesystem from ntfs to fat32 and then put a hibernation file
on there.

this worked some time ago on my thinkpad. i had to atacontrol detach first,
then swap drive for battery. may be worth a try. if it doesn't work, you
can also try the following chain of actions and permutations thereof:
  (detach), swap, suspend, resume, (attach)
of course attaching and detaching the battery doesn't make sense, so you
leave out these when necessary.
