On XP, during hibernation a progress bar shows me how long I have to wait for completing the operation. On Seven, I see no progress bar and the monitor turn off at once while the OS saves the ram on the disk. Same thing during the wake up process after the hibernation. Is it possible to have the progress bar for hibernation and following wake up on Seven?

The feature was removed as of Windows Vista, and was not added back into Windows 7. It does not appear that this feature is able to be added back in. See: http://www.adopenstatic.com/cs/blogs/ken/archive/2006/12/26/919.aspx

r u sleeping or hibernating, sleep suspends to ram with a bit of info writen to disk and hibernation writes memory to disk thus taking more time to shutdown. I always sleep so there is no progress bar.

It would imagine that since this isn't an answer the downvoter felt like it should be left as a comment – MDMarra May 10 '10 at 15:50
Also, "r u" and other such inventions are rather looked down upon on SU. Also, OP states clearly that he hibernates for whatever reason he feels necessary, and asks about hibernation, so why talk about sleep? – Greg Jan 19 '11 at 10:58
