EEE pagefile on sdhc, wont movee from root


Recommended Posts

Ive read many posts about moving it.. and Ive done it many times on systems before...

Now, in the properties tab for the pagefile, I have set none for the C drive, and enabled it for the X drive (my 8gb sdhc card).. and it reports this correctly.. so I apply, and reboot...

Only to my amazement, that the pagefile does not move to the S drive and is still on C... I then tried to disable the PF completely, rebooted and physically deleted it from C, set it to X again, then rebooted, and again it appeared on C...

No matter what I try, it always re-appears on C... this suggest to me that XP does not see the usb drive during bootup, and that it is recreating the pagefile on C.. yet if you go back to the properties, it says it is on X!!!

It simplywont move..!!

I know I can disable it completey, but why cant I move it...

Can the removable drive be forced to be fixed?? maybe this is the problem..??

In general, if a drive is reported as removable XP will not let you have the pagefile on that drive. It'll look like it worked, but as you've already found out, when you reboot the pagefile on C: will come back.
