Hibernate fails after Installing Windows Vista SP1

[N I C K]

Hi,
After installing Windows Vista SP1 , Windows Vista Fails or Unable to Hibernate. When I switch the computer on, I get a message from boot manager that my system was not shutdown properly. I have to boot Vista normally.

Thank you in advance for any help!!!

The problem may be caused by corrupted or invalid Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store file. To fix the hibernation issue on Windows Vista SP1, try resolution below fix the BCD file

1. In Windows Vista desktop, run Cmd.exe as Administrator.
2. Run the following command:

bcdedit -enum all
3. Look for Resume from Hibernate in the output from the command above. For example:

Resume from Hibernate

identifier {3d8d3081-33ac-11dc-9a41-806e6f6e6963}
device partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winresume.exe
description Windows Vista (TM) Enterprise (recovered)
inherit {resumeloadersettings}
filedevice partition=C:
filepath \hiberfil.sys
pae Yes
debugoptionenabled No
4. Locate and copy the value for {guid} identifier (for example, {3d8d3081-33ac-11dc-9a41-806e6f6e6963} for sample output above).
5. Run the following command:

bcdedit /deletevalue {guid} inherit

For example: bcdedit /deletevalue {3d8d3081-33ac-11dc-9a41-806e6f6e6963} inherit

After fixing the BCD, the hibernation should work properly without error.
