Unable to turn Hibernation on in new Laptop
I have a Samsung R-580 Laptop running Windows 7/Home/64-bit. Still in the first week of ownership. I have not been able to get it to hibernate. Did search on this and other forums looking for hints. Here's what I tried:
(1) Control Panel > Power Options. Opened details on the current active plan. There were four options under two states (On Battery and Plugged In): Dim display, Turn off display, Put computer to sleep, Adjust brightness. I assume that "Put the computer to sleep" is the old Windows XP "standby" mode ... thus, no hibernation option.
(2) Opened Start > Shutdown and it gives me six options, the last of which is Hibernate. Alas, when clicking this, all it does is shut down using the sleep/standby mode.
(3) Examined Drive C using windows explorer. Made sure "Show hidden files/folders" was enabled. Alas, no hiberfil.sys on the system drive.
(4) Opened the Command Prompt in Administrator mode, and executed powercfg -h on ... no results.
(5) While still in Command Prompt (sysadm mode) executed svc /scannow to see if there were any system problems. "Windows Resource Protection did not find anyh integrity violations."
(6) Disconnected "nano" receiver for Logitech wireless mouse to see if a USB driver was interfering ... no help!
Any ideas?
