hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys... rebuilt on boot?
- by spender
I need to take an image of a drive. I'm working from a bootable CD, so I have the option to decruft before taking the image. The Windows installation on the drive has both hyberfil.sys and pagefile.sys which I would rather not include in the image. If I delete these from the drive, will Windows recreate these files if necessary?
EDIT
The Windows installation on the drive in question was shut-down cleanly.
