Two others things should be checked.

What is your setting for ACPI SUSPEND TYPE in the POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP of your BIOS. Is it S3 or S4.

From the Command Prompt of your OS, do a directory for a HIBERNATE file (Hiberfile.sys, or Hibernate.sys). The file records the state of your desktop, etc., before you went into HIBERNATION. When you hit the power button, Windows XP searches for the hibernate file to get your system out of the mode. If the file is missing, Windows XP will have difficult booting.

If your BIOS is not set to S4 and you don't have a hibernate file, chances are you don't have hibernate mode.
