Hi All, There seems to be some argument about what files should be placed
at the start of the disk, i.e. on the outer edge where reads are faster.
MicroSoft's defragmenter, a stripped_down version of DisKeeper,
moved the stuff that Perfect_Disk had placed at the start of the disk
to the middle of my mostly empty disk... 92 percent free.
So what was once a solid block of files at the very start
became two highly separated chunks... _Lengthening_ seek times !
Note, I've selected: Let Perfect_Disk manage all the Layout.INI files.
By the way, I couldn't get Perfect disk's Off_Line defragmenter
to place PageFile.SYS next to my other files, at the start of the disk,
instead it placed it in the middle of my mostly empty disk,
....again, _Lengthening_ seek and write times !
My solution was to:
1. Copy Visual_Studio_2005.ISO, a 2.7 gig file, onto my boot disk, G:\.
2. Use Perfect_Disk to move it to the start of the disk,
where all my other files are... for faster reads and shorter seek times.
3. Delete PageFile.SYS by rebooting.
4. Rename Visual_Studio_2005.ISO to PageFile.SYS.
5. Tell Win_XP that I wanted a fixed_size 2.7 gig paging file,
answering yes to the _Overwrite_ question.
Isn't there an easier way to move PageFile.SYS to the start of the disk ?
Google came up empty.
By the way, in case anyone is following the drama in my life, ha ha,
Ethen and Patinha are two 18 year olds who've been staying with me.
Ethen got Patinha pregant.
I let Patinha destroy Ethen's stuff... she burned it on a large grill.
Why ? I'm not sure. Maybe because Ethen was spending
thousands of dollars every month on drugs and not a dime on rent.
Maybe it was because Ethen was one reason my landlord won't renew my lease,
forcing me to move at the end of this month.
Some people get kicked out for just having cats... my cats were much larger.
Patinha is still with me... yes, I like her _Way_ too much.
A few months ago she got two thousand dollars for
a couple hours of just stripping at this guy's house in Atlantic City,
....holy shit !
My landlord, a strict Muslim from Malaysia, despises her being with me.
Patinha gets about three thousand dollars per month in free drugs.
I don't do drugs myself... never have.
She's been out stealing cars... just for the thrill of it, she says.
So why do I let her stay here and not Ethen ?
She paid no rent either, and there's nothing romantic going on between us.
I'm 46 for God's sake, 1991 was the last time I had or even wanted a date.
Maybe it's because I want to help, she hasn't done speed for over two weeks,
....she's been very sweet and sober... and I couldn't have Ethen here too.
She's been doing only hippie drugs recently, a bit of pot and shrooms.
Shit... I just agreed to let her move with me to my new place,
putting her on the lease... she says she'll pay for it by stripping.
She agreed to keep her low profile... almost no guests.
Hmm... she even wants me to manage her money for her.
Will she actually bring me money ? Will we get booted again ?
Can the tigress change her stripes by stripping ?
