Boot Camp and hibernate compatibility?

I think I tried it on Windows on my MBP and it worked. On OS X it is essentially possible on all macs which support "safe sleep" (I think that is, how it is called). The default setup however is a combination of normal sleep and hibernation as a fall back option in case the power is lost during sleep mode. However there are ways to change this behaviour. If you search for "hibernate mac os x" on google, you will find some information on this.

 

I would seriously advise anyone using Windows on a mac to turn the hibernate function off. It totally hoses the partition, and has given me months of grief, plus about 100 hours worth of figuring out what the hell is wrong with my computer. My mac hard drive has had constant system failures, so I've had to erase the disc and reinstall multiple times, and the windows partition has needed to be repaired with the windows start-up disc, too. Here's what finally worked for me (start reading at the "Let me Fix it Myself" section), and don't worry if you're not techy, neither was I, and I managed just fine... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920730#LetMeFixItMyselfAlways
