I fall too often in such a situation when my mom starts yelling at me and asks me to turn off the computer. This frustrates a lot of people as you have to stop whatever you are doing or have to save every open file. This becomes a tedious task when there are a lots of applications open. In worse situations you have to close everything without saving your files just adding to your frustration</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />I always knew what hibernate is, but never used it until this day when I was writing posts for my blogs, my registry editor was open I had opened a few tabs in my browser and suddenly my mom asked me to shutdown my computer. I got really annoyed I was about to turn off my computer without saving any of the contents. It was at this time when my eyes fell on hibernate icon in the turn off menu, looking at which I just smiled to myself saying, "Why did I not think about this?".</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">What is the Hibernate mode in a computer? What does it do?</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />The Hibernate mode feature for windows saves up all the currently open applications and hence you don't have to manually save all the programs, not only this but when you turn on your computer for the next time it shows you everything just as you left it. This saves a lot of time when you start your computer again.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">How does the hibernation mode work?</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />The RAM(Random Access Memory) holds content till it is in power ON state and contents goes off as it is switched OFF. When you hibernate your computer contents of RAM are copied to the hard disk. When you turn on your system the next time, those contents are written back to the RAM from your hard disk and you get the same working space you left.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><br /><br />Before trying Hibernation, you need to enable it.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />Go to:</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span> Control panel</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span> Look for 'Performance and Maintenance'</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span> At the bottom find 'Power Options'</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span> This will open the 'Power Options Properties' dialog box</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span> Click on the 'Hibernate tab'</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span>Tick the 'Enable hibernation' box</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span> Click 'Apply'</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />To set your computer into the hibernate mode all you have to do is, go to your Turn off menu form the start option on your task bar and then select hibernate</span><span style="font-family: arial;">.<br /><br />If it doesn't show the hibernate option then press 'Shift' and the 'Stand by' option will become 'Hibernate'</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Benefits of hibernation:</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span> You get to resume from where you left even when you had turned off your computer.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span> If your computer takes ages to boot up, then this is going to decrease your boot up time as it doesn't have to boot the Operating System as it wasn't turned off.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span> All your web2.0 applications that are loaded in your browser remains as it is.

style="font-family:arial;"><br />Hard drives contain millions of sectors.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">A small number of sectors will normally go bad during the lifespan of a drive.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">As you use your hard drive, it can develop bad sectors. Bad sectors slow down your hard disk performance and sometimes make data writing difficult, or even impossible. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Error Checking Utility</span> scans the hard drive for bad sectors, and scans for file system errors to see whether certain files or folders are misplaced.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />Whenever a disk develops a bad sector, the data in those sectors may be lost, but the data on the rest of the disk will be unaffected and the disk is still completely usable.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />A bad sector cannot be repaired, however it can be marked as unusable. Once marked as unusable, the Operating System will know not to attempt to store data in that bad sector. This obviously leads to the decrease in the storage capacity of your disk.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />If you use your computer daily, you should run this utility once a week to help prevent data loss.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" ><br /><br />To run the Error Checking utility:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">>>Close all open files.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />>>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Start'</span><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />>>Click on <span style="font-weight: bold;">'My Computer'</span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />>>In the <span style="font-weight: bold;">'My Computer'</span> window, <span style="font-weight: bold;">right-click on the disk you want to search for bad sectors</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />>>Then click <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Properties'</span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />>>In the <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Properties'</span> dialog box click on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Tools tab'</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span>In the <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Error-checking'</span> section click on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Check Now'</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span>This will open the <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Check Disk dialog box'</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span>Select the <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors'</span> box</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span>Click on <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Start'</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">>></span>If Bad sectors are found, choose to fix them.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-family:arial;" >Please note: </span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />If your hard drive develops a bad sector, create a backup of the hard drive immediately.
