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?

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.
