Now hibernate doesn't do anything ... it blanks the screen briefly and then immediately give me the logon screen (like it was waking from sleep).

I think I fixed it!

When I installed Ubuntu, it used Grub2 as the boot loader. I _think_ the Ubuntu installer made the windows 7 & windows 7 recovery partitions inactive (don't know why).

Ubuntu uses UUID's in the fstab instead of drive id's or labels. I suspect that, when I made the two Win7 partitions active, those UUID's changed.

So I booted into an Ubuntu rescue mode and edited the fstab to use device id's instead ... and Grub2 was able to boot AND Win7 was able to hibernate.
