Hibernation ?

[baijubaiju]

what is the difference between normal shutdown and hibernation? in regular hibernation is any problem with laptop? what's the hibernation process?
Please show the booting sequence of the system or start up sequence under the events of normal shutdown and shutdown. This will help us to get more clarity .
For e.g. The sequence of steps in a normal bootup.
Step 1 : Post will be done
Step 2 : Bootstrap loader will be invoked.
Step 3 : OS will start loading

Basically Windows will save the state of the operating system prior to shutting down. The post - boot order is the same as booting normally. I personally never use hibernation mode. There isn't a need with the new solid state drives on the market.
