Hibernate is one of the great feature of Windows , which let us save our battery for the tough time.
Specially now when I’m writing this article I’m in a flight and I can understand the importance of saving battery now.
I’m trying to save each and every inch of my battery power so that I can work more.
Anyways sometime many people find it hard to enable and disable the Hibernate feature in Windows Vista because it is not same as in windows XP.
Enabling and disabling the Hibernate option is very easy in windows Vista too. You can do it easily by running a command.
Open Run
Type CMD without quotes.
And type
powercfg /hibernate on : This will enable the hibernate option
Make sure you have enough of disk space for Hibernate to work.
How to Disable Hibernate option in Vista?

Hibernation is always better option that shutdown for the people like us, who needs there PC any time. Its better than standby option.
Hibernate is really a nice feature to be enabled.
Nice tip.
hey Harsh,dats what i was trying few days ago, this is something very useful for me, i m also using windows vista, but with 1GB RAM , so my comp is bit slow, but i manage to do work in a low speed environment.
Vista is good but 1Gb is quite low memory keeping windows Vista in your mind.
I will suggest you to upgrade your RAM for better and faster experience with windows Vista.
