This makes me wonder if you've ever actually watched a computer hibernate and come back. When my computer goes into hibernation, it shows a progress bar as it writes the necessary information to the disk. Then it shuts off completely. Then when I turn it back on, the screen is not black at all. I see the normal POST screen, then windows shows another progress bar while it comes back.

Richard Cranium was right when he said that the last time he saw HIBERNATE was in an OEM machine. So far, machines with HIBERNATE mode tend to be restricted to OEM machines.
Perhaps I'm wrong here. I certainly hope someone in this forum could pitch in with a new insight. |
My computer is home-built and I'm using Windows XP. I use hibernation all the time with no problems. My dad's computer is also home-built, and he's using Windows 2000. He also uses Hibernation with no problems.
