mounting a harddisk to C:

[Sandy]

I have mounted part of the disk space of the secound HD to C: drive where
the WinXP installed.
Will this additional disk space increase the virtual memory as well?
Thanx

Virtual memory (pagefile) is determined by program memory requirements exceeding physical memory, and the settings in Control Panel, System, Advanced Tab, Performance button. Adding more hard drive space will only effect virtual memory if you were running out of space before to the point where the pagefile could not increase to meet demands of programs running, and then only if size limit settings are correct.

Are you referring to the creation a dynamic drive? If so, yes it will, the
extended dynamic volume will be treated as one drive.
You should famiarlrize yourself toughly from the Help and Support console on
the finer points of disk management when using dynamic drives. If you change
the hard drive or have to change a hard drive, data can be easily lost.
