Delay in Hibernation

Recently I had a problem that after playing with several components in my laptop, Hibernate became damn slow. It was so slow that it took nearly 15 mins to complete Hibernate. This delay was sometimes too much that my battery used to go off in the middle. Not sure which part of experiment did this. I remember that I installed some patches which might have caused the problem.

Problem:
Delay in Hibernation in Windows based systems (Windows-XP, Windows-2003, Windows Vista)

Solution:
I got this solution over a forum. The person gave me below tip which worked perfectly -
1. If you have installed Windows in C:\ Drive, right click C: drive and goto Properties.
2. Goto Hardware Tab.

3. You might see Disk Drive, CD-Rom and other drivers. click the Disk Drive and click Properties button.
4. On Properties message-box. Click Policies tab.

5. Enable 'Write Catching on Disk'.

6. Click all OKs to close all message-boxes.
7. Hibernate the system to test it.

I got my problem solved, Did you..
