Hibernating Laptops
On my old laptop with Win 98 if i added ram i had to first delete the save
to disk partition and reset it to compensate for the added ram. Is this also the case for Win xp? If so how? Thanks Bob |

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "delete the save to disk partition." Can you elaborate? But, no, you don't have to do anything in Windows XP when you add RAM. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |

Hibernating Laptops
I don't know if its the same for desktops but,on my older laptop (with Win
98) when i added ram i had to recreate the save to disk partition (a partition on the hard drive specifically for hibernating) otherwise it would not hibernate. Is there such a partition in Win xp?

Hi,
No, WinXP uses a hiberfil.sys file that exists on the root of the boot partition. It will be dynamically recreated to accomodate the new ram when you restart the system. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Bob" wrote in message news:OsEBd.21039$EL5.9687@trndny09...

Is there such a partition in Win xp? No. The hibernation file, hiberfile.sys, has to be in the root folder of the boot partition. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup "Ken Blake" wrote in message ...
