I am glad you solved you problem but I am amazed that default worked.
Hibernate saves the state of the system at the time you tell it to
hibernate. When you return you load back the system to the  state you
had before hibernation. Which means to me that if you hibernate while in
Linux it should come back to Linux. And booting into Windows 7 should be
impossible. Would someone who suggested the default solution explain why
this works?
