Sorry that I can't spell partitions right. Oh, what is the best partition arrangement for XP with a or G drive? Joined Jul 6, Messages What free disk imaging software do you recommend.
XP would not see more than G. This is a total of Is that the max amount I can get from that drive using XP. Maybe there is a better way to install XP sp1 to get more out of that disk? That will allow you to access the XML program when your system won't boot in any mode. Later when you decide to buy a better one, I recommend Acronis True Image. Edit, Your total drive size results are fine. It's the difference between how drive manufacturers rate a drive and how the system rates it.

Joined May 25, Messages 21, So When you switch over, the newly booted OS will overwrite the swap file from the other OS because its created on boot and both OS's have the same path for their swap file. So all that shall ever be visible to you, at any one time, no matter which OS you are in, is one single swap file. This is what I do with the z: drive on my machine. They are tiny in comparison and don't fragment that swap file.
When Windows XP boots it creates it there and when boots it creates it there. There isn't like 2 swap files on the partition so it only needs to be the size needed to take one. To keep it simple, give your swap partition the same drive letter in each OS. Then steer the swap file there. This kind of thing is a particular interest of mine.
I hope I have explained it well its late here. Oh, and Phanty sounds too much like Panty! Thanks again Phanty' Now i know what to do I've found where i can change the size of the swap file manually, but i can't find out how i change it to another partition, and also how to keep 2mb on drive C???? Thanks for being so patient with me, if i were you i'd of gotten cheesed off long ago:grinthumb Oh ye, sorry Don't worry I am used to people not being able to think for themselves Ok, under virtual memory setting dialogue, we see surprse surprise!
Well I never! Scrolling up or down the list, we see on the table that each drive has a corresponding value next to it, which is the size of the swap file we have decided to put on it. This is because some folks might wanna try spreading the swap file over multiple drives.
I highlight my system partition, say c: and the enter initial and maximum sizes. I then find my swap partition, hightlight it, and then enter an initial and maximum value and then hit set.
