err guys..how can you guys so sure that the seagate hdd is bad?
really should not be like that..even let say wd is 'better' then seagate, i dont think normal user would really notice them..hmm

seagate is one of the major hdd maker..dont you think their product is good? tech wise, they are better then wd..

hibernating/sleep issues is more related to s/ware, IMHO..
any of you guys actually approach asus?


Added on May 3, 2011, 5:23 pmi noticed in previous pages, someone posted their WEI result with hdd score less then 5.9. is this coming from seagat hdd?

Windows 7 Hibernate Problem

There are at least two different types of hibernation problems. One problem is that your computer is not waking up properly. Alternatively your problem is there is no Hibernate option on the Windows 7 Shut Down menu. In both cases check the 'Allow hybrid sleep'setting.

1) For any hibernation problems the easiest solution is to set 'Allow hybrid sleep' to: 'Off'. (See screenshot).

By design, hybrid incorporates both Sleep and Hibernate, thus you only see Sleep on the Shutdown menu. Also, by default, desktops are set to 'Allow hybrid sleep yawn.gifn'.

Trap: Before you can change any of the Balanced settings, first you must click on Change settings that are currently unavailable. (See screenshot)

2) Another problem with hibernation is caused because Windows 7 does not have enough free disk space for hiberfil.sys. My machine needed 4 GB, the size of my RAM.

3) An over-active Disk Cleanup program may cause the Hibernate option to disappear. If Hibernate does not appear on the Shutdown menu, then open a command prompt and check with:
Powercfg -q

If this was your problem, for future reference you could remove the tick next to 'Hibernation File Cleaner' in the Disk Cleanup settings.

Next turn on Hibernate with:
Powercfg -h on

3a) Check for errors with:
Powercfg -energy

Incidentally, Powercfg -energy gave me errors and warnings - even when the computer awoke from sleep gracefully. However, the point is that the information in the html report may point you to which devices need further investigation and driver updates.

Hey bro, really thank a lot. I really like to use the side of the touch pad to do the scrolling rather than the two fingers. Really really helpful for me a lot, as I like to use touch pad more for surfing rather than mouse. Only gaming I'll use mouse.

2 fingers scoll is good for me..i really like to use it..
already used to it that i feel like doing it on my office desktop tongue.gif

you need to separate your fingers further away to get almost 100% scrolling..
separate at half-finger wide..

i find the side scrolling is more troublesome instead hmm.gif
