Relocating hiberfil.sys
I have a logical partition solely dedicated to Windows XP and its files. However, at the initial stages, I thought 2GB would suffice, even with the common files of Microsoft products. Wrong.
Of the 2GB I have, only 100MB is leftover, and I need more than that to stash the temp files from installation of software (although I can relocate that folder as well).
However, along with pagefil.sys, there is a hiberfil.sys that is set to 256MB on my Windows XP partition. I tried to scouring around in the preferences for relocating or even abolishing this file, but to no avail.
So my question is: How can I relocate and/or delete the hiberfil.sys? Can I relocate it to another partition, and if so, can I reduce it's size?
Thanks in advance.

I use partition Magic day in and day out, it is a very reliable program. Make sure you run scandisk or chkdsk on all drives beforehand and take oyur time and pay VERY close attention to what your doing and you should be allset. Glad to hear I could help
