Pagefile

[Johnson Erna]

I have on my computer one partition with Windows Me, one with Windows XP Pro
and one with Mandrake Linux.
The page file it is on separate hard disk formatted FAT32. Here it is also
swap file from Windows Me.
I'd like that Windows Me to use the same pagefile as Windows XP Pro.
How I have to do this.
Thank you in advance.

One thing you should consider doing with Windows XP and that is creating a
second small page file (say 2 mb minimum 50 mb maximum) on the boot drive.
It will probably never get used but there are instances where Windows XP
uses the page file on the boot drive (and only on the boot drive). System
failure memory dumps are one such example.

It also seems that some instances of "flaky" behaviour in Windows XP can
be cured by doing this, although there is nothing specific that can be
identified regarding this.

Good luck
