Then that is likely the issue.

The Hitachi microdrive filter is (was) specifically made at the time for CF cards/Microdrives and only "flipped" the "removable" bit, as Andalu suggested, the DiskMod is a newer (and more complete/more featured) filter driver that can "flip" *something else* and make the (queer) drive suitable to host the pagefile.

I have the diskmod files stored in my archive aswell, however originally written  for Win7 32bit, did somebody tested it succesfully on WinXP 32bit?

It works on XP as well, at least on the 32 bit version.

After a while I came back to play it again, since I had a idea to use the non allocated memory as a ramdisk and put the pagefile there.

However I can't still move the damn pagefile, it still looks that it's stuck on C: and on auto.

If I list what WMIC see it's stiil on C:

wmic pagefile list /format:list

AllocatedBaseSize=3029
CurrentUsage=331
Description=C:\pagefile.sys
InstallDate=20230305102952.562500+060
Name=C:\pagefile.sys
PeakUsage=369
Status=
TempPageFile=

wmic pagefileset list /format:list

Description='pagefile.sys' @ E:\
InitialSize=2
MaximumSize=4597
Name=E:\pagefile.sys
SettingID=pagefile.sys @ E:

This setting is also visible in registry.I have tried to boot from miniXP, deleteted manually the pagefile, but after reboot, it's still creating it on C:

Im starting to get insane

Finally managed that.What a obstruction.

Disable the pagefile completely on all drives

reboot

Then I was able to delete the old one on C: directly in windows in TCMD

define the new one on E:

reboot again

and there it is....finally on my ramdrive.....
