Please normal readers ignore, in the parent post and in the ones
that will probably follow, any useless posters who get
jealous instead of thankful when seeing someone bringing the
requested help they have been unable to bring to a dozen users
in one month on 3 NGs (at least):
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win2000.general
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web
(<F3>Hibern will show you the involved requests and the
"answers" they got until today)
BTW KB909095, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909095 , that
"has been mentioned in MS newsgroups since Dec-05", is
currently labeled "Last Review: August 16, 2006 - Revision: 2.0".
Be ready for another round of the same demonstration of helpfulness

It looks like someone's happy he discovered 909095 (which dates
from late 2005 and has been mentioned in MS newsgroups since

hotfix 909095
The related message below may help. In short, call Microsoft and
ask "I want the hotfix of KB909095"; MS will send you a free
2.5MB file that fixes the problem.
See below "The reason: ...": Most Hibernation problems in XP
with 1 or 2GB are SOLVED by hotfix KB909095; they are caused by
SP2, that rendered XP unable to update the size of the
pagefile.sys file.

Subject: Re: hibernate file
The before eliminating hiberfil.sys (hibernation/standby) and
after, resulting images were browsed with DI 7.0's image browser
in XP. The latter does not contain the hiberfil.sys file, the
former does contain it with that file 1GB in size.
You might rephrase that statement and say hibernate/standby was
disabled and in another instance was not. If in one instance
included any 2GB file, and in another not, there's no way the
resulting total image files can be the same size. Am sure that
you have more than one image file resulting from imaging such an
XP partition. The files are probably numbered: 002, 003, and so
forth. DI won't eliminate older 002 and so forth extension
named files if saved to the same location either if not written
over with a subsequent image. You may be counting image files
that were not pertinent as total image size.
Switched to 7.0 when found that there may be potential
restoration problems in NTFS based filesystem in XP.

Subject: SOLVED by hotfix KB909095 (Hibernation disappears in
XP if 1GB or more)
The reason: The problem is when you upgrade RAM to high size
(1Gb or 2Gb), XPSP2 fails to enlarge accordingly the
pagefile.sys file; attempts to hibernate fail, either before or
after, and cause Windows to temporarily remove Hibernate from
the Shut Down options - but without alterating your personal
Power Profiles. Restart restores Hibernation - thus your
original profiles.
The fix: the hotfix of KB909095, that will be added in XP-SP3,
and that meanwhile you will get for free by calling Microsoft in
your country (2.5MB). Details below.
