Do you get frustrated while you wait around for the slow WinXP computer to startup? To speed up the process, you should considering using hibernate.
When you put the computer to hibernate when powering off the system, the hibernate feature saves everything in memory on disk and then turns off your computer. When you restart your computer the next time, your desktop is restored exactly as you last left it. In other words, you can save some times in reopening the programs again when startup the computer.
To enable the Hibernate feature, go to Control Panel, double-click Power Options, and then click the Hibernate tab. Click to select the Enable Hibernate check box.
To put the computer to hibernate when shutting down, you just need to press ALT + CTRL + DEL key and it will give you the option to hibernate.

1. What does "Hibernate" do? Does it actually switch off the power of the PC, in contrast with "Shut down". In "Hibernate" mode, does it still consume power and increases the electricity bill?
2. If I put my notebook in "Hibernate" and bring it along and walk around, does it cause any harm to the hard disk of the notebook due to vibration during walking, etc.?
Thanks.
When u put the notebook/pc into hibernate, it saves everything in memory on disk, turns off your monitor and also hard disk, and then turns off your computer. So, there is no electricity consumption at all. And, there is no vibration issue when u bring the notebook to move around (because everything is OFF).
In contrast, while on standby, your entire computer switches to a low-power state where devices, such as the monitor and hard disks, turn off and your computer uses less power. Standby is particularly useful for conserving battery power in portable computers. Because Standby does not save your desktop state to disk, a power failure while on Standby can cause you to lose unsaved information.
Hope that I have answered u concerns.
