Paging file for second hard drive

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

Office Depot has 80 gig hard drives on sale for $30 after rebate this
week, which I figured is pretty good. New drive is formatting as we
speak, but what should I do for a paging file? I.e., how should I set
it and what kind/size should I use for FS? Am using Windows XP Pro and
have 1 gig of RAM.

Let Windows manage the size by all means, this is not 9x any more.
Simply tell it to create the page file on the new drive via the system
properties/advanced tab, then you can delete the old one on the system
drive if needed. Then don't forget to set an offline defragmentation
for both drives and reboot ;-)

Best choice:

On your system drive, set the paging file to 2-80 (min-max). On the other
drive, (independent of the first), set the paging file to be managed by
Windows.

When you only have one drive, let Windows manage it. It also doesn't do any
good to move the file to a different partition on the same drive.

General rule is one and a half times the size of your ram...
