I'm running windows 2000 professional.

 

Sometime ago I noticed that the notebook refused to suspend. Further

investigation revealed that the "Hibernate" tab under the control-panel

power-option disapeared.

 

I tried updating the OS with the original CD, but that didn't work.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can regain the "Hibernate" tab,

without re-installing the OS?

Re: Lost Hibernate Tab

 

Thanks John, but the various links didn't seem to help.

 

I should clarify, now that I know there are actually two issues here.

 

My PC used to have two mode of power-down; Standby and Hibernate.

Both are non-functional now.

 

What I really want to recover is the "Standby" function. Apparently the

"Hibernate" function was a OEM installation - although the OEM no longer

makes PC's they still had the setup program for the "Hibernate" mode. The

setup is supposed to add a partition to the disk, but is must run under MSDOS

because it needs to access the HD directly - and Win 2000 will prevent it.

The OEM instructions for using the setup program said to start windows up in

MSDOS mode, well Win 2000 doesn't have an MSDOS mode startup [the instruction

also applied to Win 98 which did]. I found other instructions which said to

use a recovery disk, but there was still no way to generate a purely MSDOS

disk. I tried one for another PC and got MSDOS up, but when I run the setup

program it says there is insufficient space for the minimum space (400M).

Actually there is enough space, but its all part of the existing partition.

Either this program requires a partition to be pre-established, or its just

not working.

 

Anyway it's possible that the lost of the Hibernate partition killed the

Standby mode, although I thought they were separate functions.

 

I was able to run the APMSTAT program mentioned in your link reference, but

all the program said "This is an ACPI machine, APM is NOT relevent on this

machine".

 

It seemed the references in your link suggest that ACPI and APM can co-exist.

 

As I said I'm actually not really concerned about the "Hibernate"

[save-to-disk] function, but I would like to recover the Standby mode, and

none of the referneces on the knowledge center seem to apply or help. Do you

have any other suggestions?

A hunch here, try reinstalling the video drivers.

I do remember reading abouta link between the video drivers and the Standby

mode. How do I go about identifying them and then re-installing?

Re: Lost Hibernate Tab

 

Thanks John,

 

I figured it out and used the device wizard to re-install the display driver

from the original CD. Unfortunately it didn't make any difference.

Did you check in the BIOS to make sure that the features aren't

disabled? Other than that I don't have any other suggestions.

Re: Lost Hibernate Tab

 

Don't know if what I'm about to say is accurate ... your hibernate

question is causing my mind to REALLY have to look back.

 

As I recall, the partition W2K is loaded on MUST have enough free space

for a hibernate file to be formed else hibernate will not be available.

As for standby .. don't know why it is not available ... related to MOBO

specific chipset/power saving drivers?? That may be something to look

into.

Re: Lost Hibernate Tab

 

There's nothing in the BIOS that specfically references "Standby". The only

thing in the BIOS refers to the "Side-step" technology, and thats on.

 

Thanks for your suggestions.

 

Cheers.

Re: Lost Hibernate Tab

 

Yes, the "Hibernate" function requires a special partition. It was installed

by the OEM; the OEM provided software, which states that there is

insufficient space to re-create the partition - I don't know if there is a

way to free-up some of the space of the primary partition without destroying

the existing data.

 

Originally I thought that the loss of the "Hibernate" function might have

affected the "Standby" mode, but from everything I've read they appear to be

independent functions.

I've never resized a partition before, too chicken I guess, but MANY

other do it often with great success. The tool I've heard most mentioned

is Partition Magic. Perhaps you'll want to give it a try. Perhaps others

will chime in with their preference.

Thanks for the input, I'll check out the program - nothing ventured nothing
