I'm not sure that this would be a great idea.. I could be wrong but if
you mount a partition that has been used to "hibernate" or "suspend" a
system, I'm pretty sure you will irreversibly corrupt that file
system... (i'm sure I've heard that somewhere)
If this is true, most "average" users will not be aware of that and it
may automatically destroy their windows data..
