Yeah Buddy !! it worked now !! THNX A LOT

Hibernate can be re-enabled only When :-

Free Space in Primary Hard disk is Greater than the RAM memory…. That means if your RAM is 2GB , Free space in
Hard disk should be more than 2GB

Cheers !!!

Managed to free up 32GB space on a 70GB SSD system drive. I have 24GB RAM but still getting the error. Ill try to lower the RAM and see if that helps, but any other suggestions would be great. Thanks,
