I agree fully. But:

"Therefore, it is recommended that you place the pagefile on a different partition and different physical hard disk drive so that Windows can handle multiple I/O requests more quickly."

Methinks dropping the "partition" from the above would make good sense.

>>>there are 3 drives. one 4gb fat32 where the system resides and 2 9gb ntfs drives. Each drive has 2 partitions. One of the 9gb drives only has about 800mb free. The other drives have over 1gb free space each. I have just recently defragged with diskeeper.
