Hi folks,
It's weird but I can't do it. I designated my 2d hard drive to be the paging
disk, but WinXp (sp2) creates paging files on both drives. So how can I make
Windows create just one paging file on my second drive. I do have NO PAGING
FILE on C: Besides, the pf on my 2d drive is not used at all -- it can be
easily deleted. Maybe this is happening because my 2d drive is a dynamic
disk? Please help.

You should have a small amount of pagefile on drive C also.

Read here for more info:

NT, 2k, 2k3, XP will always carry a small pagefile on the "system" drive,
regardless of where you put the major pagefile/pagefiles. This exists for
use during a kernel dump or what you know as a BSOD.

Thanks for your help, guys. I also found out that Windows page file doesn't
seem to work with dynamic volums.
