Specify drive for hiberfil.sys ?

P

Is there any way to tell W2K where to store the hiberfil.sys file,
like you can with pagefile.sys? I like hibernation support but don't
want it to reside on C: if possible.

No, it is not possible to relocate hiberfil.sys. The reason is that it must
be read early during bootup, from ntldr, before the operating system and
disk management is up and running.

Best regards

Bjorn
