Who controls whether XP uses hiberfil.sys or a special partition for
hibernation and how can I find out which destination XP actually uses?
Background: I changed notebooks keeping the harddisk. The hibernation
partition had to be enlarged - more memory. On the old notebook XP seemed
to have used the partition for hibernation, on the newer system it
apparently doesn't. Why?

Windows uses C:\ hiberfil.sys. Don't know of any hibernation partition.

Maybe the laptop mfg set up the hiberfile on a hidden partition. It doesn't
have to be. The new hard drive would not have had a hidden partition so I
suspect that Windows set it up on the one single one that was available.
