Hello All, somebody knows how I can change location of my hibernfil.sys to a
secondary hard disk where I don't have store my Windows Vista Ultimate?

Thanks!

I do not believe you can specify a different location for the hibernation
file. The Hiberfil.sys hidden system file is located in the root folder of
the drive where the operating system is installed. The Windows Kernel Power
Manager reserves this file when you install Microsoft Windows. The size of
this file is approximately equal to the amount of random access memory (RAM)
that is installed on the computer. However, you can turn off hibernation.
