Does anyone know if I can move my pagefile from my C drive to my D drive where I have a lot more space or do I have a page file for each drive?

I've recently put more memory into my pc (1Gb) and don't have enough space for the recommended page file size.

I'm running windows 2000.

Thanks,

Mark

Yes, you can.

Right click My Computer and select properties.

Click the Advanced Tab and there should be a box labelled Performance.

Click the settings button.

Then the advanced tab in the resulting dialogue [sic]

That allows you to specify what chunk of the pagefile you want on what disk...
