There has to be an old hybernation file on your disk, one created by the old XP installation. Find it and delete it. This will solve your problem.

sorry 4 interruptin dreams. but i got a problem with hibernation too.
my computer takes a long time to hibernate and standby
the windows message displays"preaparing to hibernate"
4 a long time before it actually hibernates.

in my case there was no old hybernation file 'coz before tht in tht installation i never enabled it...
@biplav... check for hyberfilsys in ur main drive it's a system file and hidden by default.... uncheck these hiding options in folder options & delete that file... & reenable hybernation.

Actually once i was using hibernation.. after i formatted my sys 3 times and those 3 times i was unable 2 enable hibernation.. the same prob.. and also tried to find the file u spec but culdnt find it.. when i uninstalled the graphics driver ther was no hibernation option.. but b4 installin it my XP automatically did the driver installation and after tht i was not able to enable hibernation.. cant guess wats wrong..

oopz.... filenem is hyberfil.sys not hyberfilsys ... it's located in the mail drive from which your system boots up usually in C:\ ...
with me when I reinstalled my Graphics Driver it was solved... don't know why it's not working in ur case... try to do one thing... Kill Explorer.exe from Task Manager and try to delete he hyberfil.sys or reinstall you grap[hics in same stage... might work... 'coz may be Explorer/some other service/application using that unused hyberfil.sys

is it win xp home or pro?

[Biplav]

its winxp pro
but i was unable to delete the file.
i copuldonly after disabling hibernation.
then again i reeabled it but the file came back too.
