    IF you are using hibernate on your PC, the system will definitely create a file name as "hyberfil.sys" on your C: partition. this file size is will exact size of your RAM.
    Ex: if you have 8GB of RAM the file size also will 8GB

    now I will show how you can reduce this file size and use hibernate system as normal.

    1. TYPE "CMD" in start menu

    2. On the command line (DOS) type following code

    POWERCFG -H -Size %51

    Now your "hiberfil.sys" file size is reduced by 51% from original size,
    that means if you have 8GB of RAM now the file size will be 4GB, you just saved 4GB on your C: partition

    Note: you can set the percentage between 51-99, not under 51


    Thanks and Enjoy ;)
