Paging File Question

[Guest]

Server is Win 2k, SP4 running Exchange 2003 with 768mb of memory. The paging
file was originally on the system drive, but I was running low on space and
moved it to a separate partition. I rebooted and the new paging file is
showing up where I designated it, however, the original paging file is still
showing on the system drive with the same file size as previous (1.5gb).

I thought I made a mistake on configuration, so I went in again and put
zeroes on all of the partitions except the one where I wanted the paging
file. I rebooted and the original is still there. The new one has the
latest date, but I don't understand why the original is still showing with
1.5gb file size.

How do I get rid of this? Is there something I configured incorrectly?

My drive isn't critically low on space, but this is frustrating me to no end.

Thanks,
CS

I suggest you unhide it if it is hidden, then delete it. I also
recommend that you look at moving your system partition
to a larger disk while you have the opportunity. Moving
the paging file should be considered as a temporary measure
only.

when you moved the file, did you on C: set min/max to zero?

I thought Exchange 2003 was not to be used in Windows 2000?
