Of course not. There may be a hibernation file, but this should be on an
existing partition.

PM seldomly gives problems. If you took all the options like defragmenting
and checking of partitions I think it's best however to reinstall XP and
let it do the partitioning.

Something went wrong when you ran Partition Magic. It SHOULD have
worked the way that you expected. Toshiba usually does not use a hidden
partition, although I'm not famililar with your particular model.
