How can I move Hiberfil.sys?
I would like to move Hiberfil.sys to another partition. I am running out of space and moving this would be easier and less time consuming than to re-size all partitions.

Answer
You cannot. Because the Hibernate File must be readable by the bootloader, it must be stored on a specific sector of the hard drive, on the primary system partition. It cannot be moved.
