    If hibernation is enabled, hold Shift when hovering over the Standby button in the shutdown dialog.

    If it's enabled in your power settings, you hold shift at teh shutdown dialog, and stanby becomes hibernate.

    Go to control panel, go to your power settings, and click on the hibernate tab, then click the enable check box like so.....

    then next time you shut down via the normal way, hold shift and stanby becomes hibernate.. like so.....

    I HATE that.. it genuinely is a typo I've always made... I did it first before all the 1337 haxx00rs!!! :hehe: I'm a trend setter... I can't help it.


    Oh.. one thing about hibernation.... you may have to defrag the drive more.. but you should be doing that anyway.

    I had some bad experiences with Hibernate never waking up again, and b0rking the drive at the same time. Mind you, that was on win98 so maybe I ought to give it another chance...

    I use hibernation on my laptop all the time. Whenever I shut the lid it pops into hibernation. The only issue I've had is that if I don't reboot my machine at least once every 1-2 weeks it will take way too long to come back to life (or just refuse to go into hibernation). Typically though I'll turn on/hibernate 3-4 times a day, so it gives you some idea of how reliable it is ;)

    I've only ever once had a computer crash due to hibernation, and that was with my old acer (before I got my compaq), no idea what happened, but it just refused to wake up, so I had to do a hard crash, and everything was well again.

    When in hibernation though, you can completely take apart the computer without affecting anything, as nothing has power going through it. As kiljoi said: Hibernation > *.
