My win98 swap file is 2 gigs big and in 300 pieces.

I have to defrag my C: partition, which is 20 gigs big.

I have dual boot, and I'm not in win98 right now.

Can't I just delete the swap file and save defrag the trouble of
defragging it, plus make more room for other files, which also might
make defrag work quicker, and then when I use win98 again, won't it
make a new swap file when it starts?

Thanks.

In 98, you can try adding the line ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 just below
the [386Enh) header in the System.ini file.
This basically forces the computer to use the physical ram first. If it
doesn't help, you can set the value to 0 or put a ; in front of that
line to disable it, or just delete that line and then reboot..
