Yes, but the original poster was asking specificly about WinXP. In WinXP, Start -> Shutdown -> Hibernate is very specific. It requires Hibernation being enabled in Windows, and that you have a continuous block of HDD space slightly larger than physical RAM available on the %system% partition, which it then uses to create a file for Hibernation once enabled.
