Hi Denise,
That's how I move mine around, I rarely fully shut it off (or any machine I
own for that matter). Done it that way for years with XP (hibernate) and
have been doing it with Vista (Sleep) since I purchased this particular HP
laptop (one that I am using at the moment) in March of this year with no
adverse affects.
