Is a pagefile required for each drive?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys.

 

I have the one drive set up with two partitions, running a dual OS setup. ME/W2K

and have set the pagefile to my w2k drive. The problem is, it worked fine for a while but recently when I booted I received a message saying my pagefile is too small. I set it up as 384 min/max on my w2k partition and so went in to check if the size had changed. It hadn't, but a 20 meg pagefile was also running on my winME partition. I deleted this and rebooted to receive a message "no pagefile set etc" Whats the story here? Why isn't w2k recognising my pagefile on the 2nd partition? surely it does not need to pagefiles.

Each OS you have must have its own swap file.

Dont delete it.

I have mine set like this: Min:1.5xRAM, Max:2xRAM.

On a dual boot, either have a separate swap partition for both OS's, or just keep the swap file for the OS on its respective partition.
