Hibernate Mode

Hibernate mode conserves power by copying system data to a reserved area on
the hard drive and then completely turning off the computer. When the
computer exits hibernate mode, it returns to the same operating state it was
in before entering hibernate mode.
To manually enter hibernate mode in Windows Vista, click Start
arrow in the lower-right corner of the Start menu, and then click Hibernate.
NOTE:
If Hybrid Sleep is ON then Hibernate will no longer appear on the shutdown
menu in Vista.
To enable hibernation, click Start→ open Search box and type

powercfg.exe /hibernate ON
To disable hibernation, click Start→ open Search box and type
•
powercfg.exe /hibernate Off
