Both these files are hidden system files that are located in the C: root. If you enable the display of hidden system files you will be able to see them i nthe diretory.

When XP is set up to hibernate, it reserves a space on your hard disk equivelant to your total amount of RAM, and when the PC hibernates it dumps the contents of your RAM into the hiberfil.sys file.

The windows pagefile cannot be deleted, but you can delete the hiberfile.sys if you dont requiree hibernation.
