Problem with hibernation

[Paulie]

Hello, I need help with unattended install, everything installs correctly, everything works but hibernation - it is not enabled , wenn I try to enable it (Control Panel -> Power Options or with powercfg.exe), I get an error message :

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Of cource I have enabled hibernation in my Winnt.sif

Hibernation = Yes

When I look into Event Viewer (after getting error message above) I see this entry:

Type: Error

Event ID: 45

Source: Ftdisk

Category: none

Description: The system could not sucessfully load the crash dump driver.

Similar problem was described im thread Errors in the Event Viewer after unattended

Thank you.

I'm getting the same error message!!! But they say my problem is I have 1GB of RAM, so I'd have to remove 512MB and then it would be possible, not tested yet, but is it true?

EDIT: this Windows isn't installed unattended!

I have found this:

Hibernation Problem on Computers with 1 GB of RAM

and this:

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 293399

HOW TO: How to Manually Enable the Hibernate Feature During an Unattended Install of Windows 2000

The second one is for Win 2000 but I hope it helps with my XP too

That's cool! You found the solution.

It does look like windows does not like to create a hiberfil.sys of 1 GB. Do try hibernating again after removing one module.

I know, you said that before, but I don't want to open my pc AGAIN.

So Paulie linked to a KB article, but there's also a download (fix) available! Thanks Paulie!
