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

Since they put the paging file on the FAT partition, I remember that there may be a legitimate reason to set up a machine with a NTFS and FAT partition. Supposedly there is a performance gain from using FAT for that purpose. Just how much is a question since I never notice a perceptible

resize the two partitions to be about 80G for your C drive and everything else for your D drive. Herb I am not an IT expert, but my understanding is that the drives should not be kept at such big sizes. Especially the OS and ones that have progs on them. They get fragmented easily -

Hi! Tanya, my humble suggestion to your problem would be like this: 1. Get yourself a small, say 20 GB HD and make it your system disk. Doing so would mean re-installing your OS and s/ware but this can be done, I hope. 2. Take the whole of the 100 GB HD you have and partition it to your liking.
