There is no option for that in the BIOS. I ipdated the BIOS recently with the latest version from hp. Its an old laptop pavilion dv5000 I think your point is to see if my hdd performs well enough. Its a normal old ATA hard drive nowhere near the speed of the new SSDs but to take THAT long to load I think something is wrong in the configuration or bootloader or master boot record, not that much with the hard drive itself. Just my opinion. I'll search more and if nothing works i'll try to reinstall windows 8 from cd room and/or edit the boot record If you think of something else tell me. By the way thanks for the good guide. It helps a lot

Yes I saw it and whats more strange is that total time is 110 sec and the XML file doesn't show where that extra time is spent. But first lets address the 64 seconds hiberread. Fujitsu Mobile MHV2080AH, ATA-100, 5400 rpm, Average seek time 12 ms, Buffer size 8 MB . I don't think 64 seconds is normal. The hiberwrite is 10 seconds. Its multiboot and on the XP it resumes from hibernate almost instantly. I read somewhere that if the partition is not set as active it cant hibernate or something like that. The Windows 8 partition is not active. Nevertheless it does hibernate. Only so slow. Is that normal? P.S. On hybrid boot total time is 109 sec and hiberread is 77 sec On hibernation total time is 178 sec and hiberread is 64 sec That's according to the xml files I attached. I'll do another track and attach again.

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me. I have slow hibernation on Windows 8. (Fastboot is also very slow) Normal boot is good. The problem is the XML doesn't show what exactly is loading so slowly. Overall duration of hibernation and resume is 178 seconds. Hiberread is 63 seconds. I also measured the time with a stopwatch and the suspending took several seconds while after BIOS the whole resume took about 170 seconds (which adds up perfectly with the overall time of the XML) In hybrid boot hiberread showed 77 seconds but overall resume was 109 seconds. summary_hibernation_after_hybrid_boot.zip Should I add other attributes to the command? P.S: Its a dual boot Windows 8 over XP on a logical drive summary_hibernation.zip
