How Do I Move The Paging File In Windows XP?
First, open up System Properties, either through the Control Panel or by right-clicking on the My Computer icon and selecting Properties.
Once in System Properties, click on the Advanced tab. There will be three sections.
Click on Settings in the Performance section and the Performance Options screen will pop up. Click on the Advanced tab and you'll see the following picture :-
The second section you see is titled Virtual memory. Under it, there's a Change button. Click on it to get the following screen :-
This is where you manage Windows XP's paging file settings.
You can select the logical drive you wish to place the paging file in by clicking on the list of logical drives shown on the screen.
Just scroll through the selection of logical drives available. Click on the logical drive that you want to place the paging file. Then set the initial and maximum paging file sizes and click Set.
To remove the paging file from the default location in the first logical drive, select drive C: and select No paging file. Then click Set.
After you are done, just click OK and allow Windows XP to reboot your computer. After rebooting, your paging file will be established in the logical drive you selected.
Again, please remember that each logical drive represents a partition, not a physical drive. So, if you want to move your paging file to a separate hard disk, select a logical drive that resides on that hard disk. Preferably, it should be the first partition in the other hard disk (which should be on its own IDE channel).
