Let me start explaining how I found out this: 'Mister M' was afraid to hibernate his Ubuntu with a running VMWare guest mounted on an external USB drive. So I tried to do the same on my Windows Vista, explaining how confident I was on Vista reliability, only to find out my Hibernate option had vanished! More, I couldn't find the a way to re-enabling it on Power Options.
After some googling I found out:
If you've found that your Hibernate option is missing from Windows Vista, it might be from running the disk cleanup wizard and removing the hibernate files.
This is due to a known bug in Vista that might not have been hotfixed already.
It goes on:
Turning it back on is very simple, however. Type cmd into the start menu search box, and use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open in administrator mode. You can also right-click the item in the menu and choose Run as Administrator.
Uau! Simple, ehm?...
From the command prompt, type in the following command:
c:\> powercfg /hibernate on
And if this wasn't good enough for 'Mister M', it ended up:
You'll have to restart your computer before it will take effect.
Oh, well, I deserved it. 'Mister M' had his revenge :)
