Hi

I have just done a system format and upgrade from win98 to xp
I made a partition for the operating system of 3 gig thinking this would be
plenty of space.
now I find that there is only 433meg free on this drive!!!

There are 2 HUGE system files in the root C:\
they are: pagefile.sys (805,306,368meg) & hiberfil.sys (536,383,488meg) Is
this normal?
What can I do to reduce the size of these files, anything?

Part of the reason I did the reformat was to free up some space on C: which
was continually running out of space. If I am stuck with these huge files
it looks as though I will have to go through the whole re-partition,
re-installation again. Understandably I dont want to.

TIA
