Hibernate mode, click Start, then click
Help and Support. Type the keyword
hibernate in the Search box, then click

Hibernate (also called save to disk) writes all current memory (RAM) information
to the hard drive, then turns your notebook completely off. The next time you
turn on your notebook, it reads the memory information from the hard drive
and opens the programs and documents that were open when you activated
Hibernate mode.
To activate Hibernate mode:
1 Click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens. If
your Control Panel is in Category View, click Performance and
Maintenance.
2 Click/Double-click the Power Options icon. The Power Options Properties
dialog box opens.
3 Click the Hibernate tab.
4 Click the Enable hibernation check box, then click Apply. Hibernate mode
is now an option you can select on the Advanced tab in the Power
Options Properties dialog box and in the Shut Down Windows dialog box.
