"Resuming Windows from Hibernation" Problem!!!

[Guest]

XP freezes when it tries to resume from hibernation state. The status bar
goes all the way full and then nothing happens. The only way to boot back to
Windows is to reset or turn-off power and restart but not after seeing this
message and selecting to delete restoration data.
-------------------
Resuming Windows

The last attemp to restart the system from it's previous location failed.
Attemp to restart again?
- Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu
- Continue with system restart "
-------------------

Facts:
I installed my OS on a HD with over 137GB capacity. I was able to maximize
it beyond the 137 barrier by using its manufacturer's boot disk/utility. I
also had SP2 slipped strimmed into my XP pro. Under Computer Management/Disk
Management console, my system drive is recognized at 149.05 GB (supposedly
160GB). Additionally, the disk is not defective based from the test I ran
using the manufacturer's Diagnostic Utility.

I really like the hibernation function and I'm hoping there somekind of a
solution to this issue.

Tks...

Minimize the number of background apps you've set to run 24/7 and see if
that helps.

I got a Compaq, with a similar problem, and got onto the Compaq help site
that enumerated a number of reasons for this to happen. My PC did pretty much
as you said and I also get a message "resumed from a serious error" after
reboot.

I updated the firmware for the BIOS, and for me, that solved the problem,
and worked OK since. As I said, there are other reasons mentioned, but the
update did it for me.

My motherboard's BIOS is already 48-bit LBA-compatible so i'm not really sure
updating it's gonna help. Besides, the only latest update it has is for
better stability in handling 400Mhz RAM modules.

I still have to try "Plato's" suggestion and see how it goes....

Thanks for all your replies. Hope others have some suggestions too. By the
way, i already tried one Hotfix's from the Support pages and it didn't work
because it's supposed to be run pre SP2.
