Today I show you how to enable the hibernate option in Windows XP. Just follow the easy steps below; and your on your way to set your Windows XP to hibernate.
HP Hibernate Option:
Whenever you want to logoff, shut down or reboot your Windows XP machine you have only 3 choices
(1) Standby ONLY IF the ACPI/APM function is properly enabled BOTH in your motherboard's BIOS AND in Windows XP!
(2) Restart
(3) Shutdown.

(3) Shutdown.
Start button -> Control Panel -> Power Options -> Hibernate tab -> check Enable hibernate support box -> Apply/OK -> reboot.
NOTE: If for some reason the Hibernate tab is unavailable your computer does NOT support it!
The reality here is that Microsoft did NOT enable the 4th option:
(4) Hibernate, which should be available on power saving (ACPI) enabled PCs and laptops.
But you CAN bring it back: just hold the Shift key while the Shut down menu is displayed on your screen, and notice the Standby button being replaced by a new, fully functional Hibernate button, which can be clicked with the left button of your mouse.

If you release the Shift key, the Hibernate option will disappear once again, to be replaced by Standby.
