Hibernation Problem

[Mark W 0]

When I tried hibernating for the first time, it "shutdown" fine but hung when I tried to restart. I can live without hibernation (it would be nice but not essential), but it left a 128mb hiberfil.sys in my root directory. When I try to delete it in explorer I get a sharing violation. How do I delete this monster file?

Goto Power Options in Control Panel, and turn off Hibernate Mode.

 

This should let you delete the huge file you have in your root folder.

 

It may even get rid as soon as your disable Hibernate Mode.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I turned off 'Hiber' then rebooted to try and delete the hiberfil.sys file, but no luck. I tried in safe mode, still now luck. Finally I used ntfsdospro and deleted it with no probs in DOS.
