If you have started using Windows 8, you must have noticed that Windows 8 does not allow to Hibernate in almost all new installations as default. In fact, in Windows 8 there is a special feature called Fast Startup which is usually enabled by default and it makes Windows 8 boot up really fast compared to Windows 7 and older versions by saving some of the kernel and drivers of Windows in a hibernate like file. This allows quick boot times as its faster to read the information from a file than to load all driver and kernel from scratch.
