Don,
Everything I found on the hiberfil.sys file shows that it can't be moved.
As far as I can tell there is a very good reason why it can't be done. The
hiberfil.sys file is basically a complete dump of memory into the
hiberfil.sys file. When the BIOS goes to restore hiberfil.sys to memory
(when you wake the PC out of hibernation), there is no OS loaded, so the
boot partition is the only partition the BIOS can be sure of. I can
understand the strange things (and incompatibilities) than can happen if you
try to get all the BIOS makers to access other partitions.

I turn off Hibernation and modify the Power Settings to Always On, so I have
no experience moving the hiberfile. Most likely, the control for its
location is in the registry, but I'd run a search for tweaks specifically
geared for that before experimenting.
For the Pagefile in XP, right click on My Computer and select Properties.
Go to the Advanced tab and click on the Performance > Settings tab. Click
on the resulting Advanced tab and then on the Change button. Write down the
current settings shown for the C drive. If the pagefile is on a volume
other than C:, you'll first have to click on that drive to access the
current settings. Click on the 'No paging file' radio button (the small
circle) to remove it from that volume, select the one you prefer to use and
then enter the previous settings for this new location. The changes will be
made following a reboot, so OK your way out of these open windows and
reboot. Finally, return to this area and make sure they are still the way
you set them.
Peace,
Gman
