I have one AO netbook in Safe Mode with no trouble reading the SDHC card nor going into hibernation. But this brand new Gateway LT40 in Safe Mode does not read the card at all (nor accepts hibernation mode either). I think it may be a configuration issue and very simple to solve, and the same for hibernation, but the netbook is working so sluggishly that it would take me to find where is the difference between both netbooks with the same OS, W7 Starter. In Safe Mode 1G RAM navigation is acceptable.
