You can to turn off or reduce the size of the page file to save space.

Turn off hibernation as well as this takes up a fair amount of space.

Nothing mate, just trying to help the ignorant, mate . Without SP1 you're not really testing your cpu when you run IBT as SP1 is needed for AVX with Sandybridge, mate.
