Could it be that your computer turns the hard drive off after a while? The laptop power setting turns it off after 30mins. Go to control panel ->power options.

you dont want to know!!! I reinstall once a month! And are we talking about your laptop or your pc? If your laptop of course its going to be slow coming back from hibernation depending on what cpu you have in it!

no not bad but it takes awhile to wake it up! Like when you get up in the morning or us older folks I need to lay there for a minute or 2 before I get going! As for installing everyhing again as in hotfixes and pacthes no I have that all slipstremed into a cd with xp so it gets installed when xp is installed! As for my data I have many partitions I dont reofrmat thsoe just the os dirve!
