Disable Hibernation support, then delete it, its hte hibernation file.
OP
Ok let me elaborate, of course I could do that if my hibernation tab was available in the power options. But it has disappeard, I'm strongly guessing due to a driver, but I'd like to get rid of the hiberfil.sys file which is taking up about 600MBs. When I try to delete it, it says the file is in use. So I have no option to turn off hibernation cause the tab had disappeared so I'm SOL right now.
Fire up W2K in safe mode or command prompt mode - that should let you delete it.
OP
Excellent suggestion, tried it, but still now luck. Still got the same error message. So I managed to track down NTFSDOS Professional, booted my system using a boot disk, ran NTFSDOS Pro, and blew the hiberfil.sys file away!!!
