when i defrag my hard drive, i see two red vertical bars.
After defragmenting they are still there.
The name of the file is \hiberfil.sys 1.26 GB in size.
How can i get rid of this file, i tried using search
FILES and FOLDERS, cannot find this file name hiberfil.sys
Thank you

I think this is the file that Hibernate state info is stored in, and it
works kind of like a swap file, locked down. To get rid of it you have to
turn off the Hibernate function, which I can't remember how to do, tho' I
remember a website describing it. I think I printed that web site, I will
post back if I find anything.

Find someone that can read and look under Accessories-->System Tools and
click "Disk Defragmenter"
