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
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.
