Hi,
I am trying to defrag an Asus laptop for a friend and its taking absolutely ages. I am using the trial version of Diskeeper 2007. It actually didn't finish after 2 hours in the office so my friend took it home and ran it from Friday to Sunday and it still hadn't finished
So my friend did some searching with google and found that these 2 files might be causing this:
hiberfil.sys (1.23GB)
pagefile.sys (1.48GB)
When searching she found this out:

But she also found that deleting the Hiberfil.sys file maybe a problem because she has an Asus:
"hiberfil.sys - cant remove due to Acer replacement program! I have an Acer laptop and hiberfil.sys is taking up valuable space i need while i back up my system! problem is this: the method spoken here to reomove hiberfil.sys file does not work for me! reason: the standard windows xp power management program does not start! instead, an Acer program runs when i choose power management from the control panel! which has no option to turn on/off hybernation! where is the origional xp program for powermanagement located so i can click on that please? ANYONE!!! "

So is it going to be ok to delete these files and if so will this solve the slow defrag problem?
