Hello,

I would like to know,
if there is a way to perform an "XP hibernation like"
action on older AT case based Win98SE.

i.e. Save windows state on hdd, and then
quickly reload whil booting, like XP can.

I guess this is OT, anyway...

Hibernation is a feature of Windows 98 power management that needs an ACPI
power management BIOS (with full ACPI support) to work. If not, Windows
will not allow hibernation. Later OS (W2K, XP and maybe ME) do not rely on
the BIOS for hibernation. Some BIOS do not support hibernation with the
FAT32 file system in Windows 98, so a BIOS update may be needed if
available.

If, during Windows 98 installation, a device is found that does NOT support
hibernation, you will not get the hibernation option in shutdown. If during
any subsequent hardware installation, the new drivers or hardware do not
support hibernation, you will lose any previous hibernation shutdown option.

Check Control Panel > Power Management or Power Options. If your computer
supports hibernation you can enable it there. If it is not listed , then a
device driver in your machine does not support it. If you find the file
NOHIBER.TXT in the c:\windows folder it may tell you what the problem driver
is and it is then up to you to find an update for it. Otherwise you're
stuck.
 
I know I cannot perform hibernate :-)

My BIOS has an option for ACPI aware O/S,
but case and Motherboard are AT, not ATX.

I asked for an clever utility doing something like that.
Some kind of "suspend to disk", then switch PC OFF.

I asked for being sure, because I think there is no such one.....

I know that hibernate is dependent on ACPI. I have not heard of a
connection between hibernate and the case or AT motherboard.

Sorry, I did not understand you were looking for a utility. Unfortunately
I do not know of one.

The OS and/or BIOS has no possibility
to switch AT power source down.

And without that there is no real hibernation
even if OS and BIOS and MB would support it.
