Increasing hard drive space for the Hibernation file
When Hibernation is initiated, the operating system stores your information to a Hibernation file on the
hard drive, and then turns off the computer. The operating system reserves space on the hard drive to
store the Hibernation file based on the amount of system memory. When you increase the memory, the
operating system increases the hard drive space reserved for the Hibernation file.
If you experience problems with Hibernation after increasing memory, be sure that the amount of free
space on the hard drive is larger than the space required by the Hibernation file.
To display the amount of free space on the primary hard drive:
1. Select Start > My Computer.
2. Right-click the primary hard drive listing, and then click Properties.
▲
To display the amount of hard drive space required by the Hibernation file, select Start > Control
Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab.
If the free space on the hard drive is less than the space required by the Hibernation file, increase
the amount of free space on the hard drive:
▲
Select Start > Help and Support > Performance and Maintenance > Freeing up disk
space, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
