Thanks for your reply. I have been doing more reading and I now see that one can set up multiple page files, one on each drive partition, and apparently Windows will primarily use the page file on the partition that is not the boot partition. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q197379/ I think this is what you are explaining to me. I will do this!

A separate partition for the W2K pagefile is a very good idea. I had trouble
initially with my Compuserve browser software becoming corrupted after just a
short while, then I set up the separate pagefile partition and the problem
vanished. If you do this, set up 2 pagefiles: a small one (8MB maybe) on the
W2K partition and then a larger one (~100Mb if you have 64MB RAM) on the
pagefile partition - this keeps W2K from generating error messages. The separated
pagefile reduces fragmentation on the W2K partition significantly.
