pagefile weirdness

Recommended Posts

This is pretty strange - I have a partition setup specifically for my pagefile, which is set to 1024mb. For some reason windows has also created another pagefile on my c: drive which doesnt show up when I go to set up pagefile usage in the system tab under control panel. I have tried created a pagefile on c: and then removing it but it just stays there! I cannot delete the file as windows wont let me - anyone got any idea whats going on?

 

Thanks alot

NT based OS's like to have a 2MB pagefile on the system drive (c: in your case?) to deal with crashes and the like (it's necessary because of how crash dump works, etc). I wouldn't worry about it, just set it to 2MB on c: and a large 1024MB on your other partition.

That's funny, cos there's no pagefile on my C: partition, or any other partition other than the 1 I specified - which is D:

I am actually having a similar but different problem.

 

With Win XP PRO, RAID array with 2 - 40 gig maxtors and 2 IDE HDD on the primary channel, I am getting system files and reserved system resources on both the raid array (boot) and the 30 gig maxtor on the IDE channel. The FAT32 formatted 20 gig I have does not take on the system file traits, but for some reason, win xp is actually accessing the IDE controller ALOT during boot. I know this cause I kept the LED on the mobo as opposed to putting it on the raid controller.

 

 

Is there some kind of connection with this????

 

Whats the deal?
