Since you have two partitions, and not two physical drives, (if I have understood it correctly) you can safely ignore that message. It talks about performance because it thinks you have two distinct drives. With two drives you can read/write on both in the same time, so having those large files (The Windows SWAP, and the PS temp) on separate disks will end up having a performance improvement, without (two drives) you'll not in any case. Only, be sure to have at least the double of your physical RAM amount as free disk space otherwise you'll have some trouble, e.g. cannot save that photo, because you don't have enough space. I've had once this kind of problem, I've opend Word, while having a little space, Windows swapped, and fill the disk, hence I couldn't save my document because "no space left on device" !!
