[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1115317, member: 46727"] Why didn't you turn off hibernate in your power settings when you first setup Windows 7? Hibernate is a feature that is almost never required for modern machines and simply uses hard drive space the size of your memory to store system contents for a quick start up. The hiberfil.sys file is a hidden system read only file and will not show up to Spotlight in a search. The only way to unhide it is to boot to Windows and use the file Explorer to turn off the hidden system read only attributes. Catch 22! You're just going to have to let loose with some money and buy a USB keyboard that you can use, or remove the hard drive and put it in a Win machine that's working. The other alternative is install NTFS mounter in OS X and see if you can delete the hiberfil.sys file that way. I doubt it will work but you can give it a try. NTFS mounter is free. [/QUOTE]
