Possible Duplicate: ?How to change location of hibernation file in Windows 7? ?
I have a SSD with 32GB and a HDD with 500GB on my notebook and after 3 months using Windows 8 it startd to warning me about C: disk usage (where Windows 8 is installed on). By looking on the TreeSize software, I noticed that C:hiberfil.sys is using 7GB (Oo) of my SSD. I’m wondering on changing this file to D: (the 500GB HDD) due to reduce the Windows partition disk usage, is this possible? There are any another ways to deal with the hiberfile usage problem on Windows 8?

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.
