Oh okay...LOL. I get it now! I woke it up just a minute ago, and it booted up from hibernation normally. I am going to let it hibernate for the rest of the night. I will boot it up from hibernate in the morning sometime. I will let you know the outcome.

It doesn't really matter how long you let it Hibernate as once it enters the state it should wake up no matter how long or short.

To test this I normally in Advanced Power Options set Sleep at 1 minute and Hiberate at 2, Apply it and then don't touch anything and observe. You will notice that it wakes up from sleep to go into Hibernate. This is when it's writing the RAM contents to the HD C:/Hiberfile.

I set Sleep to 30 and Hibernate to 60 normally. Users tend to like this on their installs I do.

It sounds like you've succeeded though I would keep an eye on it. You can set a System Restore point and save a backup image to get back to the point where it Hibernates if you want. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/697-system-restore-point-create.html?ltr=S
