Don't do that! And do not alter the drive D: either or you may cause the locusts to fly out of the DVD drive.
In short the D: drive as supplied on the last few HPs were recovery drives and if you research all about page files you learn that it's find to split them across DRIVES. But your drive D is the same PHYSICAL DRIVE so you would actual degrade the performance (point 1!) My next issue is that the HPs I found had D: in FAT32 and some tanked the restore system by tinkering with D: and altering it to NTFS. (point 2)
Nothing busted here. Hope this helps.

I have a strange pagefile problem. I want to set the pagefile from system managed to a fixed size and on an other fysical drive d. I can change it without problems trough the control panel and when i look on the d drive, the new pagefile is actualy there. However after i reboot the pagefile on d is gone and there is another, very small, pagefile on c. When i look in the control panel, the settings display that there is no pagefile at all.It looks like, whatever settings i use, the system allways create a system managed pagefile. My computer is a HP 9500 notebook with 2 G ram and a 2 Ghz dualcore processor. Any ideas on how to fix this ? Many thanks.
