I've got a 1TB SATA drive on my system but it's not my main drive. I wonder if this is an issue isolated to people's primary [c:\] SATA drives that are larger then 1TB?
I've had less issues with windows 7 then any other version of windows.
I guess the programmer who wrote the original code assumed OEM manufacturers wouldn't put 1TB drives on stock equipment (something I'm seeing a lot of right now)
Win 7 64 seems to go into the Coma mode occasionally. Only a power off revives.
I heard this was a feature. 1 Tb SATA + 1 750GbIDE + 1 300Gb IDE. I'll try waiting a full minute and see if I can wake the dead.

Since the issue is probably rooted in being able to access pagefile.sys and hiberfile.sys (or is it hiberfil?), that would probably be why. This is not saying that every person with a 1TB+ drive will experience the issue, though, so even if it were your system disk, it's not a guarantee that you'll see the bug.

Hmm, one of my Win7 64 computers seems to go into hibernation when left alone (but not idle) for a few hours. Today I had into it remotely through Ultra VNC to 'wake' it. The thing is, I have all "sleep" and hibernate/hibernation options turned off. The largest capacity drive in the machine is 500GB. I don't know if this is a related issue or not, in reference to the SATA patch.
If you can wake it remotely (assuming you don't have Wake On LAN configured), then it doesn't sound like it's hibernating. What kind of a state is it in when you see it this way? It almost sounds like it's standard power-saving/DPMS and turning off the drive and monitor after a period of inactivity at the keyboard. These options need to be set separately from the regular sleep/hibernate cycles.
Of course, it might be something else, making half of the previous paragraph irrelevant.
