| 341800 | 2005-04-05 06:29:00 | Where is this file? I searched for it, but got nothing...is it a typo? I tried hiberfile.sys as well, but still nothing. | coleProtocol (7810) | ||
| 341801 | 2005-04-05 06:35:00 | Show all files or when u search, search for hidden files . I think its a system/hidden file . I havent got it on this, as I dont use Hibernation . I disabled it . Its hiberfil . sys |

| 341802 | 2005-04-05 06:42:00 | Still nothing. "Search system folders" and "Search hidden files and folders" were checked this time. I also looked in the WINDOWS, WINDOWS/system and WINDOWS/system32 directories; it's not in any of those. | coleProtocol (7810) | ||
| 341803 | 2005-04-05 06:47:00 | try searching for "hiber*" or even "*.sys" ... wildcards are useful things when you're not quite sure of how something is called. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 341804 | 2005-04-14 20:42:00 | Hello, when I try to enable hibernation on my computer, it gives the the message, "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." What's this about? It's an old thread now, but im a newbie to this. I'm assuming your'e in safe mode already. In XP you have to tick option in Windows' Search "Advanced Options" to "Search for hidden files and folders" then search in "C:\" for "hiberfil.sys" and delete it. I've just had this prob. as well. Thanks Speedy :thumbs: |
