331958 - Hard Disk May Become Corrupted When Entering Standby or Hibernation or When Writing a Memory Dump
Ouch! Applies to 137GB+ drives and Windows XP.

The ATAPI driver for Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) does not use 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA) when it writes memory dump files or hibernation files. Additionally, the flush cache command is not issued to a large hard disk that has 48-bit LBA enabled when Windows XP enters standby or hibernation.
