When I bought my Dell it initially came all packed with all the useless goodies Dell loves to throw in and I hate them installing stuff I don't know about or probably will never use so I decided to reformat and start from scratch. However the downside to this was that hibernation in the shut down options is gone. Is there a way to get this back?

Hold Shift when the shutdown thing comes up.  Standby should become Hybernation.  That is if you have turned hybernation on in the power settings.

hibernation vs stand by, what is the difference?

Hibernating stores the current RAM image to disk then turns the computer off. Standby will use electricity as the computer is minimally active waiting for you to bring it back out of standby.

My computer (and I don't think this is true of everyone's) goes into powermode S4 when Standby is on -- *everything* is off with the exception of RAM.  Hibernation puts it into S5, where RAM is persisted to disk prior to powering down everything else.

IS it possible to schedule a turn on of your computer w/o BIOS if your computer is in Hibernation?
