Hibernate...

[drumthrasher]

i saw this sony vaio laptop (over $3000) at the px and at the shutdown dialog, (the standby/shutdown/restart box), next to the yellow 'standby' was hibernate. how do i get this on my computer?

hold down shift when you see the three options, and the standby button should turn unto a hibernate one (assuming winxp)

i know that, but next to the standby there was a hibernate option, there was no need to hold shift...idk if the windows xp it had on it was weird or something but i liked how u didn't have to hold shift for hibernate
