Sounds more like you system is going to SLEEP, rather than
HIBERNATING. Either that, or your motherboard is not accepting the
power-off command that Vista should be issuing as the last part of the
hibernation process. I have one older computer which does not power
down on command with Linux, but does with Win2K. Go figure.

Hibernation takes about 20 seconds on my Vista system, which has 3GB
memory, which mist be written out to the internal SATA hard drive.

Are you sure that hibernation has been fully enabled? Just seeing the
option in the shutdown list is not definitive.

To be sure, do a : Start:Run:POWERCFG -H ON

Thanks Jay for your help!
The hibernation is not in the shutdown list in the Start menu.
I Started:Run:POWERCFG -H ON and off several times.

Hi Dima,

If you want to see Hibernate in the Start menu power options arrow, then you need to have "Sleep after" set to Never, and "Allow hybrid sleep" set to Off, and "Hibernate after" set to how many minutes in the Power Options. See STEP TWO step 6 here.

It is on mine, but only after installing the Service pack
Release Candidate. Which is still not final.

This my computer is new. The motherboards is Asus p5k. RAM is 2gb. My old
computer on Chaintech 6btm hibernated flawlessly for 7 years!

Re: How to add "Hibernation" to the Start menu in my Windows Vista Ultimate x64?

Hi Shawn,
The "Sleep after" and "Hibernate after" were set to Never. I have set the
"Allow hybrid sleep" to Off and the Hibernate in the Start menu power
options arrow appeared! Thanks!

I have a P5K (Premium) mainboard. Hibernation now works
flawlessly (with Vista RC1), but it did work before.
I do not think I could add hibernate to the start menu,
but I could configure it so that clicking on the shutdown icon
in the start menu the computer would hibernate, sleep or shutdown.

Set the "Allow hybrid sleep" to "Off" for the Hibernate in the Start menu
power options arrow to appear.
