Not Enough Page File/Virtual Memory to load Windows - Help

[Antonio1968]

Hi
I was on an XP tweaking site, and obviously followed the wron
instructions into deleting the Page File, which resulted in start u
failure
After trying about everything, (safe mode, Last good known confi
options from the startup screen), I re-installed windows (repai
installation, not a fresh copy) and ended up at the end of the boo
with LSASS.exe message window saying: "Not enough Virtual memory o
paging file to perform the operation." and windows failed to reboot
Finally, I installed a fresh copy into a new directory calle
"WINDOWSS" (just to preserve the old files), and from it, I tried t
copy LSASS.exe into the old windows directory, and still, i get th
same message when i try to log in to the first XP installation.. Eve
I tried to access my files from the new installation, and got th
message "Access Denied". In addition, prior to that problem, I had 4
Ggb total disk space with available 21Ggb of free space, now it's 2
Ggb of total disk space with available 10 Ggb of free space.

Is there a way to enable the paging file/virtual memory from the DO
command? or is there any other way to resolve that problem? (I d
have the XP Installation CD with the recovery console on it
Note: I still have two boot options at startup, the old one, and th
new installation
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ton

Although I don't use it very often, I have a dual-boot configuration
set up on my machine. In order to minimize waste of space, I configured
the Page Files to be shared between the two Windows installations.

What I'd suggest you try is this: boot your WINDOWSS system and then
change the page file configuration so that it uses the page file on the
drive/partition that contains the page file used by your original
Windows system. By default, this would be your C drive. Increase the
space of this page file, or perhaps specify "let Windows manage...".

Now boot your original Windows system.

To change page file configuration, go to System Properties >
Advanced... and I can't be more specfic right now because I'm on an
Italian W2K system. If you need help getting there I'm sure somebody
will pitch in.
