hibernation in xp

RMirenzi · Aug 13, 2004

Previously putting my laptop into hibernation took seconds.
Now when I hit the hibernation button the Windows screen
comes up with the hibernaton status bar. It takes 10
minutes to complete and go into hibernation. It all works
fine but goes real slow. What happened. Can I get the
quick old way back?

Help???????

When last have you cleaned and defragged? Hibernation takes quite a chunk of
space on the HD, and if you are anywhere near 80% full on the partition your
OS is located, hibernation is not going to be 'fast', also depends a little
on file style, Fat32, ? NTSF ? Try cleaning drive, defrag, (even twice if
first time leaves some not defragged, (check report). Move any folders that
aren't needing to live on same partition, eg other program installation
files, pics, etc. If you can that is. If you are nearing 80%+, you may not
even be able to defrag, system needs space to work, minmum 10%, (though I've
had problems with less than 15%). Maybe this is not your answer / issue at
all, just food for thought and good advice to anyone, you can also make space
by removing restore points, especially if machine automatically creates them
