Need More Reasons?
Creating a dedicated partition for the dynamic paging file also means tying up hard disk space and inviting inflexibility.
Users of FDISK will find it impossible to change the size of the paging file partition when they need to do so. In fact, they will have to remove at least two partitions to create a larger one. If they only have one primary and a secondary paging file partition, then they will have to remove both and recreate two new partitions.
Users of special utilities like Partition Magic will have an easier time as they can easily adjust the sizes of the partitions. But in the end, this method is counter-productive because for all your trouble, you have just slowed down your paging file and orphaned off a portion of your hard disk for the dedicated partition.
The main reason for using a temporary paging file is actually to save hard disk space. Users of a temporary paging file avoid tying up large amounts of hard disk space in a permanent swapfile.
However, this method actually requires you to set aside a large amount of hard disk space and worse, place cordon off this space in an inflexible partition. If you can afford to allocate space for this dedicated partition, you would be better off using the space for a permanent paging file.
In my opinion, this technique is a waste of time and needlessly endangers your data. Messing around with FDISK and partitions can be heartbreakingly exciting, if you catch my drift.
