You may have noticed under Windows XP, a file size (equal to your RAM) called hiberfil.sys lies at the root of your C: drive.

This file allows Windows XP or 2000 to put in a state of hibernation system and thereby accelerate the restarting the machine.

If you do not use this feature, it is possible to recover the space occupied by this file by going to Control Panel "Power Options", then in the "Hibernate" to remove the "Enable hibernation."

Hiberfil.sys file will be automatically removed from your disk.

Hope that helps

2. Go to the Hibernate tab.
3. Uncheck the Enable hibernation box to turn the hibernation feature off.
4. Click OK or Apply to accept your changes.
5. Restart your computer.
6. Check the C:\ directory to see if hiberfil.sys was automatically deleted.

Tips

1. Check the Enable hibernation box to turn hibernation back on.
