I think the hibernation option is itself not turned off and so the hiberfil.sys is continuously getting recreated. Please disable Hibernation from Power Options in Control Panel and recheck.

Did u mean Mac OS X Tiger ?

Installing Mac on a PC is illegal and this forum does not have recommendations to discuss such things. BTW I also have Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2 on my PC

chill man-there is nothing legal or illegal here-i have just this query-
anyway law prohibits many mundane things-who cares man-even pot and downloading movies is illegal-
going by law the only place you can smoke cigarettes is your house-

alok-i am facing this problem in xp sp3-is their anyway to disable hibernate option-i have tried the power option-but still after every reboot i find the hibernate file in c

I dont know why its happening with you.
I just went to Desktop Properties(Right Click on Desktop)-->ScreenSaver-->Power-->Hibernate Tab-->Disables Hibernation... And I can see the file is removed from C drive.
