When I use the XP Search function (Start/Search), to search Files and
Folders for example: pagefile.sys It comes back with nothing found?

I know I have a pagefile.sys and can see it using a DOS search engine.how do
I get XP Search to see it and other files with similar attributes?

You need to make these files visible. Open Folder Options/View tab. Enable
the options that refer to:
System Folders
Hidden Files
Hide Extensions
Hide protected
