The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by nbanyan in Windows 7, Computer Hard Drives, PC Laptops
Recently I was on a long trip and took a lot of pictures. The camera stores the pictures on a SD card. When the card is full, I resume my laptop (HP tx2000 running Windows 7 RC) from hibernate, move the files from the SD card to a folder on the desktop, and after the move completes I close the lid of the laptop to send it into hibernate again.
The assumption I had was that any data in the write cache would be forced to complete writing to the hard drive as part of entering hibernation. Most of the time I believe I used the 'safely remove hardware' feature anyway.
However, one of the file dumps I made on the trip was never written to the harddrive and is therefore completely unrecoverable.
The question is: Does anyone here know for sure if hibernate and/or standby empty the write cache before entering a low power state? And how would I ensure the write-read cache is completed before removing the SD card (other than using the 'safely remove hardware' feature?)?
