I'd like to take a computer, put it in hibernate mode, then boot it in a few years and show off the MASSIVE UPTIME.

Uptime doesn't count up during hibernation. Nice try, though!

Actually it does, . My comp's uptime is "3wks 3days 11mins 51secs" and I put it in hibernation every night (naturally I have to reboot for some stupid reason (yes I'm looking at you Windows Updates) every once in a while, thus why it's only 3weeks instead of a couple months).

I never knew so many people put their computer in hibernate instead of shutting it down . I started doing this about a month ago because I'm to lazy to wait 5 minutes for my computer to start up every time I want to use it

No, it doesn't.

Hibernating doesn't reset the counter, nor does it add to it. When Windows starts again, it'll be about where it left off.

It actually keeps counting on my computer, at least as far as mIRC is concerned. I found that out over Christmas break when we had to unplug everything before we went home. When I came back about three weeks later, the uptime that mIRC reported was about three weeks higher that it was when I left.

That's odd, because I used hiberfnate fairly often last year (and when I moved), and it didn't change the uptime at all...

I think I'm going to pit this down to a hardware issue and leave it be. Hiryuu suggested that I purchase a 2.5" drive to replace the one I have in my laptop now. Given how old it is, it would make more sense just to get a new laptop.

Trying to resize the partition (I was going to attempt to install either Ubuntu or Slackware) fails, even after running chkdsk... with just the /f parameter. I'll try running it again with /f /r and see what happens. (Chances are, it'll do no good.)

There are a few different ways for a program to determine the system uptime on Windows - the easy way, which does count hibernation time (and on pre-Vista, wraps after 49.7 days), the slightly harder way which also does but doesn't wrap, or the ridiculously complicated "right" way, which I'm guessing doesn't.

Also, today's been "one of those days" for me too. Like I sleep in way too late and I get a random nosebleed and my brain takes a nap during Japanese lessons and all the "random" factors in a round of Mario Kart seem to consistently work against me (AI is much meaner than usual and gets "special" items like Bowser shells over and over and over again, etc) and various half-baked programs that only work half the time all decide not to work and so on. One of those Murphy's Law days. :-/
