Harold:
I do not know how to get my computer into
hibernation, but I do know that it uses a file called
hiberfil.sys which is system and hidden and
difficult to do anything with. It is 981,556 Kb
and in the c:\ folder. All the data on the condition
of your computer when it goes into hibernation is
stored there. Did you somehow delete it?
>From what you describe it looks like the computer
cannot find the data it needs to return from
hibernation so it starts a normal booting procedure
(removable media first).
