    Apple has identified a very rare issue that may occur when putting an iBook or new PowerBook (FireWire) to sleep that could prevent the computer from recognizing the hard drive at startup. To avoid this situation, Apple strongly recommends that all iBook and new PowerBook (FireWire) customers install the Sleep Memory Extension.

    Who Needs to Install the Sleep Memory Extension?
    All iBook and PowerBook (FireWire) users should install the Sleep Memory Extension.

    Installing the Sleep Memory Extension
    To install the Sleep Memory Extension, do the following:
      1. Drag the Sleep Memory Extension onto the closed System Folder on your iBook or PowerBook (FireWire) hard disk. A dialog box asks if you would like to place the item in the Extensions Folder.
      2. Click Yes.
      3. Restart your computer.

    After restarting your computer, the "Preserve memory contents on sleep" checkbox will still appear in the Energy Saver control panel, but the checkbox will be dimmed and unavailable.
