hibernation is not hibernating
Hi Guys,
I am in a bit of a jam and hope someone can help me solve this problem.'
I have just re-installed Windows 7 and just found out my hibernation is not hibernating. The screen just goes blank but the system does not shut off / hibernate mode. I have to manually shut it down at this stage by holding down the power on button.
The problem causing this as I have read could be due to my C: partition not being marked active. I have a System Reserved partition also and it shows as Marked Active & System, which I am assuming is where the bootloader is. Now in order to make hibernation function I think I need to make the C: partition as active, however as it states in this threads' warning, marking it active could render my system to not boot.
Therefore is there a way I can fix this to Mark my C: Partition as active so I can have my system hibernate as normal ??
I have attached a snip of what it looks like in Disk Management.
Cheers
