:I came across your thread and I am pretty sure I have the same problem as
you.
:
: I get a "read disk error" when resuming from hibernation.
: I don't get this problem when I shut down and restart.
:
: I have a TabletPC, HP TC4200. Out of curiosity, what company is your hard
drive? I am using Western Digital.
: I had the same problem with my previous hard drive, a Toshiba, but at that
time I assumed it was defected so I bought a new one recently.
:
: Seems to me this problem is linked to hibernation somehow.
: I will repost more info when I go through this with my brother, who is
more of a computer expert than I am.
:
: BTW...does anyone know what "NTLDR is missing" means?
: Or is it linked to hibernation in anyway?
