Re: Hibernation takes more time in my Windows-XP Professional Workstation

Hi Bob


thanks for your reply.

Device Manager -> IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers ->
Intel 82801EB Ultra ATA Storage Controller - 24DB
Primary IDE channel
Secondary IDE channel

Right click on "Primary IDE channel" -> Properties -> Advanced Settings
->

Device 0
Device Type : Auto Detection
Transfer Mode : DMA if Available
Current Transfer mode : Not applicable


Device 1
Dedvice Type : Auto Detection ( grayed out )
Transfer Mode : DMA if Available
Current Transfer mode : Ultra DMA Mode 5


Earlier I had two HDDs ; now only one HDD.


thanks in advance!

Best Regards
VETRI

You might check if the harddrive is running in PIO mode instead of DMA
due to erroring out. If you look in Device Manager for the primary IDE
channel, properties, advanced settings and see if the drive is actually
running DMA. If it reverted to PIO you can remove and reinstall the
channel to get it back to DMA.

Hi Rock

Yes I had turned-off Hibernation.
Then the 1 GB file ( hidden file ) hiberfil.sys disappeared from C
Drive. And the free space on C drive increased by 1 GB.

Now I had run Defragmentation Analysis ; the following Google file is
of size 960 MB and has 260 segments.

\Documents and Settings\sunrise\Local Settings\Application
Data\Google\Google Desktop Search\rpm.cf1

Then run " Defragment" ; it rearranged the files ( as shown in the
bar ).

Then restarted the PC. Then enabled hibernation; as soon as Hibernation
is enabled the file hiberfil.sys appeared on C drive ( as a hidden
file).

BUT , ....still the Hibernation takes 12 minutes ( in my first post I
had specified that it takes 8 minutes ; actually it takes 12 minutes ).

I had upgraded RAM from 512 MB to 1 GB ; but it was 2 months ago; ( and
hibernation usually will take 30 to 40 seconds ; some times a maximum
of 1 minute).

Only for the last 4 days hibernation takes 12 minutes.

No clues!

Hi


Very often I Hibernate my workstation , instead of shutting-down.
Usually my PC will hibernate within 1 minute ( or maximum of 80
seconds ) and go to power-off state ( even if 15 IE Windows are open
, some downloads are in progress, Antivirus scan is in progress )

But for the last two days , the hibernation takes almost 7 to 8
minutes.
No major applications installed or hardware changes done.
I close all applications and even stopped unnecessary Services - but
still it takes 8 minutes to complete hibernate.

There was enough free disk space in C Drive ( 2 GB free ); it requires
1 GB for the hiberfil.sys file.
Whereas , starting the PC ( from hibernate-state) , takes normal time
,...less than a minute.

Turn off hibernation. Make sure the hiberfil.sys file is deleted. Run a
defrag for good measure, then turn on hibernation again. See if that helps.
