Hibernation Command - Toshiba Satellite 1750 User Manual

Hibernation command

Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but it first
saves the current state of the computer to the hard disk. Since
Hibernation mode does not require power to maintain the saved
information, the system settings are retained indefinitely.
Restoring information from the hard drive takes longer than
restoring it from memory. When you start up again, the computer
runs a self-test, loads the operating system, and then returns to the
state in which you left it.
Factors when choosing Hibernation mode:
While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery
power.
Because the state of the system is held on the hard disk, no
data is lost if the battery discharges.
Restarting from Hibernation mode uses less time and battery
power than restarting from Shut down.
Restarting from Hibernation mode uses a little more time and
battery power than restarting from Standby because
information is being retrieved from the hard disk instead of
memory.
When starting up again, the computer returns to the state in
which you left it, including all open programs and files you
were using.
TECHNICAL NOTES: Before using any of these methods to
power down your computer, save your files and make sure
the disk activity lights are off.
If you change your mind and decide to continue working
after all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on
again.
