Paul,
As already mentioned, I don't believe there is an approach to move a VM to a
dedicated partition, but if there is then it would be either using a Windows or
VM tool, so you might get better answers from a more Windows based group
(GUI-talk?). But then, I find as long as I don't have too many Safari windows
open, that my VM are speedy enough for Outlook and testing accessibility of web
pages with JAWS, WindowEyes or NVDA. Remember especially that on the Macintosh
windows and applications will keep the same documents open when closed and
re-opened. So perhaps just reviewing all open applications/windows might
significantly help your performance if physical memory is running short on your
system.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
