Umm...

You want to hibernate to the disk and then resume from it, right?

How do you expect that to be possible? You can't resume from a device
you can't see until after you've resumed and loaded USB drivers. Perhaps
finding a USB-IDE adapter which is recognised by the BIOS would be a
better plan.

If you're just wanting to recover data from a disk, why does hibernating
matter anyway? ;)

Cheers,
