Guyz I'm facing this strange problem
Since I rarely use Vista I've never tried hibernating it but in XP even after Hibernation when I restart my PC it starts as a normal boot
Is it some case of Boot Loader that is newer than XP

Currently I'm able to hibernate but not able to recover that state of Hibernation

ie A Purposeless Hibernation

Is it some case of Boot Loader that is newer than XP

.
I think no, because i also have dual boot xp pro and vista, and i never face this types of problems.
There may be problems with Ram.
Try ram in different slot or if possible check with any other ram and write here.

Clean your system RAM and make sure that Hibernation got enough Memory/Disk Space to get run

This is not a problem with vista boot loader. Most probably it is a ram problem or disk problem. Disable hibernation in xp and reenable it so that it recreate hiberfil.sys

Hi Ecko,

Did anything solve your problem? Me too stuck with this issue, have tried many things, but nothing seems to work. I do have enough space on HDD for hibernation. I have DELL Latitude D630 with WinXP SP3 with 3.5 GB RAM. Can I upgrade my BIOS somehow??

this issue can happen when the windows drive is not having the space for storing the hibernating files..this issue happ to my computer too..if yes like others say, disable and enable hibernating, then clean the RAM and check.

Did you allot proper space for hibernation? Check it out.
