t42 Hibernation problem and HDD question

[ParzanM]

Hey I cant seem to get my hibernation to work. Every time i choose hibernation when i press the power button in the "power options" it changes to hibernation but when i click ok and go back inot the power options it set to standby again.... any thoughts?


ALSO....

I have a 5400rpm hdd which i am finding extremely slow when loading/running big programs such as solidworks and matlab. I am thinking of upgrading to a 7200rpm one.

Could anyone suggest a model which would be compatible with my T42. Its a IDE harddrive. I have a 80gb now so anything bigger than that is fine as long as its 7200rpm.
