I always receive there a "SPAM bloke", thank you very much, Dietmar


Hi Alex,

in the CD forum asked S.Fiorito Martin Kiaer ([email protected] ) from
Microsoft whether Hibernation after USB boot is possible.
Martin Kiaer said, that Hibernation works also with XP Pro booted
from USB harddrive.

Here is the link.

Nice to hear from you
Dietmar

PS: I havent tested Hibernation
after USB boot until now.

I made my Diplom also in Applied Physics,
so an extra "hello" from Germany ^^.

Hi all,

Hibernation of XPPro works as normal with my solution for USB boot.

I tested it just this moment
on my the ShuttleX SB61G2V3
booted from USB stick.

Nice to hear from you
Dietmar

Hi all,

I have to correct my previous message.
Only the standby modus works on a single USB device.

XP says, it cant install hiberfil.sys on the USB device. I think, this is
similar to the behavior of the non existence of pagefile.sys on a USB
device.
This can be overcome, if you connect a normal
IDE harddisk also to the computer. Let it boot from the USB device, and
hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys stay on the IDE disk.

Sorry, nice to hear from you
Dietmar

Thank you Dietmar.
I read the Martin's tutorial with the interest. But I have just
discovered something that closes the USB hibernation problem (i.e.,
turns it's importance to zero) for me. Why i was interested in the USB
hibernation? I tried to realize the "HORM" method with the XPE and
uDOC. And why I tried it? Because of slow system booting on the initial
stage due to USB 2.0 boot mode unsupporting. I thought that resuming
from hibernation may be faster. Yesterday, I took the hiberfil.sys from
the IDE HDD, placed it to the uDOC together with the "resmany.dat".
After power on system starts resuming. The hiberfil.sys is unproper, so
I have 7B blue screen, but only at a moment when the USB 1.1 stage of
booting is over and system have to launch its USB 2.0 drivers stack.
So, I can measure the time of low stage resuming and compare it with
the time of low stage booting with the uDOC (because the XPE images are
nearly the same)!
And what have I got? 50 sec - booting, 45 sec - resuming. You see the
results are pretty similar. The conclusion is that if the BIOS doesn't
support USB high-speed booting, the HORM method is not a panacea. It
will be interesting to make such an experiment with the USB 2.0 booting
system but I haven't it now among all computers available for me.

Regards,
Alex
