Moving paging file
- From: David <david@xxxxxxxxxx>

I have a PC running XP. I have 1 Gig of RAM.
The PC has a floppy (A:) drive, a hard drive (C:), a CD/DVD drive (D:)
and I have plugged a buffalo 2 Gig drive in to a USB port
which is listed in 'My computer' as drive E:
I want to have my paging file on E: and not C: but despite doing as
required, the paging file remains on my hard disk C: and not on
the USB drive (E:).
I have followed the instructions given on
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307886 which are:
My computer
Properties
Advanced
Performance - Settings
Advanced
Virtual Memory - Change
C: is empty as I clicked 'No paging file' and 'Set'
I have clicked 'System managed size' for E: (and also tried variations
of this i.e., custom size (complying with the 'recommended size'
shown below)).
I then click yes when required and restart the PC.
When it restarts, the paging file is still on the C: drive (1,572,280
KB), and there is nothing on the E: drive. Attempts to move the
paging file to E:, or delete it, are unsuccessful as a message comes
up saying it is being used.
Can anyone help please? Thanks
David
