I have 2 hard drives on my Windows XP system, the first
drive is an 80GB which is working just fine, the second
drive is an IBM that I took from my old Windows 2000 pc, I
want to use that drive to hold the pagefile.sys files
only. XP recognizes the drive but only recognizes 2GB out
of 30GB....part of the problem may be that it also has the
Master Boot Record from the prior pc installation. Any
ideas of how to 1) erase everything from that drive and 2)
claim the entire drive space?
thanks
