• Need help, move, or delete the file hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys to reduce the free space in C: drive

  Original title: need assistance to move or delete hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys

  Is there anyway I can move or remove 2.43 GB hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys 4.39 GB in a defferent drive because I'm running out of space on my C: drive?  They take so much space.

  See this tutorial to move the swap file, however, I recommend have at least a 900MB

  pagefile on the C: drive to allow the creation of a dump in case of problems with the system file.

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/132201-virtual-memory-paging-file-change.html

  To delete the hiberfil.sys, you must disable hibernation. It cannot be moved.

• Hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys - I can't delete

  Hello
  I have a computer laptop tecra s3 and after a fresh install of XP restore cd, I noticed that 4 GB of my C partition are 2 files:
  (1) C:\hiberfil.sys (around 2 GB)

  All my C partition is 12.5 GB because of the small HDD (80 GB), so I really need the extra space.
  Hiberfil I looked on the internet and this is the info of the RAM when I activate the Hibernate to close Notepad. I've ever used this function and in any case, it is disabled, there nothing on the hibernation in Control Panel-> Power Options, and when I want to activate stop-> hibernation, I can't because it is faded and I can't select it. So obviously this file I need, it's a hidden file system: how to remove it? I tried already the folder option-> view the file and I have uncheked Hide protected operating system files, but still I can not remove it.

  (2) C:\pagefile.sys (around 2 GB)
  This file is the virtual memory that XP uses of my HARD drive as ram memory, I currently have 2GB of RAM.
  If I reduce the amount of this virtual memory settings, what will happen to XP? He's going to become increasingly slow?
  This laptop is important because I use it on my work place, so... I really need to work properly :)

  Thank you, hope you have time for me soon :)

  If you disable Hibernation in the Power Options (and the Toshiba Power Saver), you should be able to delete that file. If you can't, try to delete it in Mode without failure. From the start to access the Windows boot to Windows Startup menu, press F8.

  Windows requires a swap file to work properly, so you should not delete the pagefile.sys file. If you do, it will be created again anyway.

  PS. SD cards are cheap these days, so you can use a 16 GB SD card to store your files if the HARD drive is running out of space.

  Use CCleaner (google is your friend) to delete unnecessary files from the HARD drive and clean the registry.

• "hiberfile.sys" and "pagefile.sys".

  What are these files .sys they appeared suddenly in my hard drive C, containing windows. Their creation date, is even prior to my date of activation for windows. Should I keep or delete them, because they are massive files and take up close to 15 GB (hiberfil.sys = 6.3 GB and pagefile.sys = 8.00 GB) space on my HARD drive. Are these really important file or some kind of malware. Because they did not exist before. Kindly explain to me on these files and guide me on how to make...
  Thanks in advance.

  AMS

  You need both.  They were always there you probably comes from their visible rendering.

  The amount of ram = pagefile.  For example 8gigs ram = page file 8 gig
  Hiberfil is necessary if ever 'Hibernate you' your computer.  It's abt 75% of the amount of ram you have

  If you are that tight on space you probably have a bigger HD.  A 64-bit win 8partition can run more than 60 gigs.

• Hiberfil.sys and Windows 2008

  Hello

  Does anyone know if the hiberfil.sys file is required on a virtual Windows 2008 Server for any specific 'VM' related features?  For example it is necessary to do a Vmotion or create a snapshot?

  I found that if I "powercfg off h" I can remove this my template file, but I don't want to break some functionality but do.

  Thank you

  Hello.

  Does anyone know if the hiberfil.sys file is required on a virtual Windows 2008 Server for any specific 'VM' related features?  For example it is necessary to do a Vmotion or create a snapshot?

  No, not at all on the side of VMware.  You would only need to this feature, if you wanted to put into hibernation using native functions to its guest OS.

  I found that if I "powercfg off h" I can remove this my template file, but I don't want to break some functionality but do.

  I do this procedure for all models of Windows 2008 I.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A100 - update BIOS problem with phlashnt.sys and Vista 64

  I downloaded the upgrade of BIOS (file S10V600.exe) for my Toshiba Satellite A100-437 (PSAA8). When I try to launch it I get the answer:
  "Unable to load driver.
  ... \PHLASHNT. SYS
  ...
  This driver has been blocked form load.
  Error code: 1275 "
  (I rolled points instead of less interesting part of this message.

  My system is Vista Business 64 - bit SP1.

  I turned off User Account Control (in fact it the first thing I did after installing Vista ;)).
  And just to be safe, I also tried to right click on the S10V600.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator".
  I was using the admin account.

  Nothing did. Always the same window with the above message appeared.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Concerning

  Maybe it's because you have installed Vista 64-bit?

  You may need to use XP or Vista 32 bit update of the BIOS.

• BSOD - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with nvlddmkm.sys and ntoskrnl.exe

  Hey there,

  

  My computer has started planting since yesterday. I played a game for a while and it might or might not be related; Eitherway, it suddenly froze the system unexpectedly and I had to reset my pc. After that system started correctly. I ran the game again to see what's going on, and unfortunately, it crashed the system again; has had to reset hard once more. After that, I got a BSOD with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL score to nvlddmkm.sys. I tried to reboot once more to see if it disappears and the system charged up to the floating logo of W7, but I only got a black screen afterwards, no login screen either. I wasn't able to boot the system normally more, forcing me to use safe mode. After checking terrils, I decided to uninstall completely nvidia drivers and that helped - loaded correctly and installed system software of windows default driver.

  Right now I'm in a situation where Windows seems to work stable unless I have try re-installing the drivers nvidia; In doing so, does not load results in a system and the BSOD screen again after W7 logo, no matter how many times I restart.

  My basic features are:

  Gigabyte P35-DS3R

  Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.40 ghz, oc'ed to stable 3.20 ghz)
  8 GB DDR2 RAM
  Gigabyte Geforce GTX460 1 GB of RAM

  Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB

  ST1000DM003-1SB10C 1 TB

  Silentium VERO L1 600W

  W7 Pro SP1 with all latest updates

  Here are the dumps (contains the dump of the first and the last being).

  So far what I've done - tried unplugging all devices (including my Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Sigma headset), uninstalled Avast antivirus, tried reinstalling drivers nvidia in two different ways (of unsuccessfully); clean the GPU/CPU/power supply. I'm slowly running out of ideas. To add, I never really had problems with my PC - it works all the time for 8-9 years with no issues whatsoever and I moved from c2d e6750 and GTS250 a year (or more) there are what I currently; never had any problems with these components, either. I always intend to Exchange my gpu for further testing, but since I do not have an integrated GPU and video signal passes through GTX460, I don't really know if there is a damaged graphics card (perhaps wrong, however).

  If anyone knows what is the origin of the problem and what can be done to avoid a full system reinstall, I would be really grateful for any help.

  Update:

  I swapped the GTX460 with my old GTS250 for test. Apparently, it seems that the GTX460 was damaged and all misleading BSOD was actually caused by defective behavior. Fix to 750ti in a while.

  Edit [21/05/2016]:

  I swapped to 750ti and all is well again. This case can be considered resolved.

• Windows 7 clean install fails with ACPI.sys and error blue screen stop: 0x0000007E.

  I tried an update of the BIOS already and a full erase of the disk which has been recommended by the ASUS support. Nothing worked, and not even the ASUS support has other ideas how to get Windows 7 to run.

  OK, how much RAM have you?

  I found this information:

  However, I remembered seeing something on the Internet about Microsoft 64-bit being unhappy with 4 GB of ram during the installation process of the systems... .then I got 2 GB of ram and the installation went OK! I will give the memory later.

• Installed XP3 on old VAIO with split C and D hard drives?

  I have a Sony VAIO all in one of 2003 that I am responsive like a computer "emergency."  I need to install XP3 on it.

  Drive C has 12.7 G used with about 1.18 GB free (so far).

  D drive has 41.9 G available.

  XP3 is ready to go through automatic updates.   Now I'm cleaning up my C drive and I was wondering...

  I'll be able to specify that XPSP3 installed on drive D, or will it be necessary?   It will install where there is room?

  Thanks for your help!

• Problem with VMWare Tools and the virtual drive

  Hello

  I installed the test version of "Workstation" and installed a windows 7 x 86 non-virtual DVD drive mapped, which is mounted on D:\.

  Subsequently, I installed all Windowsupdates and after that I tried to install the VMWare Tools.

  But every time I get the message that I should look on the 'virtual' drive on D:\.

  But there is no virtual drive, it is my DVD of the hostsystem.

  Is there a way to mount a virtual drive with tools or install them in another way?

  Thanks in advance

  Taldrit

  Hello

  You can directly install the VMware tool configuration by copying the setting in the machine and manually install the same.

  Try VMware on another machine tool in which you will get the installation... Copies on disk and then move it to your new VM and do a manual configuration.

• Cannot delete hiberfil.sys. No matter what.

  Hi guys, for the last few weeks I was on a trip to remove hiberfile.sys frustrating and in desperation I asked for help.

  My Windows 7 is installed on its own disk having a capacity of 29.7 GB. I was installing all my programs and everything on the other drive, but the hiberfil.sys is taking 8.3 GB and despite all my best efforts (using CCcleaner, media stored on external HD etc etc) this car only has a few hundred MB free and is way in the red.
  Result is, I don't want to Hibernate, and I don't want this file with 27% of my C: / and it will not leave.
  
  
  OK, so I read almost all guides on the 3 first pages of google search images "delete hiberfil.sys" and they all give essentially the same steps.
  so far, that's what I did:
  • Go to settings of power and assured Hibernate is disabled - in fact this isn't there at all.
  • Open a cmd in administrator mode and type powercfg-h off prompt.
  • I also did the foregoing in about 50 setups a different syntax - all I found online (e.g., powercfg.exe HIBERNATE OFF)
  • I know for a fact that the syntax works because I used 50 powercfg.exe/HIBERNATE/Size and it actually changed the size. It has really changed the size of 6 GB to 8 GB which has been a big shock, because I was under the impression she's 75% by default, but anyway...
  • After powercfg-off in the syntax as much as I could find, I want to restart my machine and the hiberfil.sys is always still there.
  • Not where I could find online or on forums showed those who encounter this same problem where it is not removed after you perform this step.

  So what is so special about my laptop? Can you tell me (well I hope that you can anyway).
  I appreciate any help you can give me - this thing has been so annoys me and I can't do anything to get rid of this redundant file.
  Thanks in advance :)

  Hi Vaughan,

  The Hiberfil.sys hidden system file is located in the folder root of the drive where the operating system is installed. The Windows Kernel Power Manager reserves this file when you install Windows. The size of this file is approximately equal to the amount of memory (RAM) is installed on the computer.

  The computer uses the file Hiberfil.sys to store a copy of the system hard disk memory when sleep hybrid setting is turned on. If this file is not present, the computer cannot Hibernate.

  I suggest you delete the file in safe mode and check. Ensure that hibernation is not enabled.

  If you still can't delete it, use the Windows 7 installation disc to start the computer in safe mode with command prompt and run the command to remove the file.

  For more information, see the link.

• Windows 2008 SP2 running on a HP ProLiant DL160se - cannot delete hiberfil.sys

  First of all, it's a running AD AD 2008 R2 domain controller.

  It was built about 2 years ago.

  C: 30 GB disk

  100 GB drive D:

  Yes. I know that the C: drive is small but that's the way it was built and I have to live with it until the next refresh.

  Here's my problem.

  I'm only 400 MB of free space on the C: drive and am afraid that at the next round of patching this server will run out of space.

  We have a file hiberfil.sys on the C: drive, which is close to 5 GB in size.

  We don't Hibernate enabled nor do we ever want to use.

  I Googled it and I tried all the suggestions and nothing seems to me to delete the file.

  I don't have a HibernateEnabled registry setting anywhere in the registry.

  I don't have a setting of 'Sleep' in the Advanced Power Options.

  I tried the following, and I still couldn't remove:

  -powercfg/h off

  I also tried to enable it, but it came up saying that I don't have enough space to create the hibernation file. WTF?

  As much as I can say that we have no setting Hibernate anywhere in the OS so why this file exist and how can I get rid of him. ?

  Help! at the end of the roll.

• Problem with Anti Virus Software is not not able to scan pagefil.sys and hiberfil.sys

  Question:
  I ran a virus check and he warned me that the antivirus software cannot
  analyze these 2 files system. Can someone tell me if this is normal or not.
  Thank you

  What antivirus software do you use? pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys is the disc of Windows virtual memory and file restore hibernation file. Both are system files that should not be accessed by anything other than the operating system itself. Never underestimate your own stupidity.

• Windows XP, the power option button is gray and does not work. The hiberfil.sys file occupies all the available space.

  I can't install the updates, especially antiviruse updates and everything is slow because the hiberfil.sys file is huge.  I can't Devil Hibernate because the power button is gray-no matter how or where I'm trying to open it.  Also at the same time, the sound disappeared and the sound card displays a yellow button.  Difficult to use the computer and dangerous online.   Help!
