Hi,

Is there any way how can I change location of
hiberfil.sys ? E.g.: To Q:\Hiberfil.sys.

Thanks
 
No. The hibernation files must remain on the same drive or partition
as the Windows XP operating system.

No. That is used at the very start of reboot from hibernation, at a
time when nothing is known about anything but the partition being
booted. Note that if you do not use hibernation, you can get rid of the
file altogether by turning it off in Control Panel - Power Options -
Hibernation page. Uncheck the Enable box and OK
