Thread: Can't start back up after Hibernation.

goto http://www.bootdisk.com/ and get a dos boot disk.

The hibernate file is C:/hiberfil.sys

I forget what the dos command is to delete. i think its;
Delete C:/hiberfil.sys

Thanks for the response. But I just went ahead and reformated. Now to see if it happens again. But I am glad I know for future reference.

just curious what did the error read?

del c:\hiberfil.sys

churnopol: are you a *nix user? I make that mistake often too.

I format my machines once every other month or so as well. But formatting because it will not get back out of sleeping is a little harsh.

j/k I know your pain. There are times when formatting is quicker and easier. I am a system and network specialist. When I am really really busy and someone came to me with a crashed computer and if they have backup data, I often just wipe out the HDD and put a new image back on the system. Easier fix than try to figure out what he/she did to cause the crash. That way they would not get into trouble for installing things they should not install as well.

Yeah, I didn't want to waste the time figuring out the problem. I forget the actual error I will let you know if I get it again. Thanks for the help.
