How To remove computer from hibernation?
It depends on what operating system you have.
For example:
Windows (2000, XP, Vista) - Open Control Panel and Select "Power optionsl. There should be a tab for Hibernate. You need to actually select the option "Enable Hibernation" on this tab for it to work. From here, you can select "Hibernate" when you choose Shut Down from the start menu, or your computer may have a keyboard shortcut.
Certain versions of windows may not have this option though.
Mac OS X - Close the laptop lid, or select Sleep from the Apple menu. Hibernate only really comes into play when the battery is about to die on Apple laptops.
Quick tip for the future - it helps if you specify some important details such as the operating system in the question.

Where can I find a cheap laptop battery?
The thing about batteries:
They're usually a little pricey. If you DO find one that is not expensive, match up the part numbers! Ask where your new battery came from and try to find out, if possible, if it's a manufacturer-recommended battery specifically for your computer. Try to research online and see if other people have reported issues with it! Sometimes a company will make a generic battery that is supposed to work with your computer, and sometimes this works great, but sometimes a cheap knockoff battery may cause damage or overheating.

4) Is your computer out of space? If your computer has a full memory, you might need to uninstall any computer games that are unnecessary or unused. You may also have to do a disk defragmenter or a disk clean-up to get more space.
What types of batteries are use for portable computers?
Laptops are powered by several different types of batteries. These batteries provide direct-current power to your laptop.
Lithium-ion: This is the type of battery you want to have in your laptop. This type is lightweight and performs better than the other types of batteries. Unlike NiCad or NiMH batteries, lithium-ion batteries don't have the dreaded memory effect." The memory effect is the property of nickel-cadmium batteries that causes them to lose their capacity for full recharging if they are discharged repeatedly the same amount and then recharged without overcharge before they have fully drained. There's usually a rapid-charging option with lithium-ion batteries, which is good when you're in a time crunch. Finally, this type of battery is more environmentally friendly than the other types.
Two older types of batteries, once popular in portable computers, are nickel-cadmium (NiCad) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH). The NiCad isn't often considered for laptops these days because it suffered unpleasantly from The Dreaded Memory Effect. A NiMH battery is longer lasting than a NiCad, but it too woefully suffers from The Dreaded Memory Effect.
You can confirm which type of battery your laptop has by looking at its label. See the next section.
A few laptop computers out there are still using NiMH batteries. This is fine, of course, but you might want to check to see whether you can find a battery upgrade to the Li-ion type.
To prolong the life of a NiMH battery, I recommend fully discharging it every so often. For example, after you use, drain, and recharge the NiMH battery about four times (or so), do a complete drain and then recharge it again. That should help the battery last a bit longer.
Your laptop might have two additional batteries inside. A secondary, alkaline battery inside is used to power the laptop's internal clock. An optional third battery keeps things powered for the minute or so that it takes you to swap out a spent main battery with a fresh one. See the section "Love that spare battery," later in this chapter.
Does Disk Defragment makes your computer faster?
Yes.. it reduces the time taken by the Hard drive to search for a file . thus, improving performance..
when you delete files and copy/make new ones.. they may appear sorted ( as in folders and disk drives).. but inside the Hard drive they are not in the same place but scattered over the magnetic disks (platters).
So when you open a program.. the hard disk has to look for the essential files all over the platters and hard disks have 1 - 3 platters.. so searching all of them is time taking
after the Defrag all the files are organised and when u open the same program the hard drive has to look only in one location to get all the essential files..reducing access time.
