My C boot partition is getting full, so I decided to move my paging file to D drive. After I rebooted my computer, I get the error message like "your paging file is too small". The new paging file on D that I set up has the same as the previous one.
Then Win2k created or set the paging file size of 20MB automatically.

After I opened about 5 IE windows and one window of tera term pro, I get the message like "your paging file size is too small so that the size will be expanded automatically" or something like that.

My cowoker moved his paging file from his boot partition to another partition, but he hasn't had any problem like me. Also, my boot partition's file system is FAT32 and his file system is FAT.

Could someone give me any suggestions??

I've seen this problem before, and it was due to it not being set up properly. I would make sure that it is set up correctly, and you have enough space. I've uploaded what my paging file properties should look like. The minimum size should be the amount of RAM that you have, and the maximum size should be that doubled. I have 384MB RAM, so that is my minimum size, and 768 MB is the maximum.

Ok, I am still trying to move my paging file from system partition to D(NTFS) partition.

If I completely move it to D, then the machine creates 20MB paging file on C: when I reboot. Then on Virtual Memory window, Currently Allocated section in Total paging file size for all drives shows 20MB. The paging file size that I set up for D: isn't recognized in Current Allocated section...


I would like to make sure the following points...

1 If you have multiple physical disks, having multiple paging files would improve the performance.

2 Creating multiple paging files on a single logical volume or partition doesn't improve performance.

Am I correct?

Now, if you have multiple partitions or volumes on your physical disk(my computer has only one disk), does having one paging file on each partition help the disk performance?
I think that I've read someplace that having multiple paging files on one physical disk doesn't help. Therefore I should have one paging file either on C: or D:.

What do you think??

We had this problem at work, we got around it by right clicking on my computer, selecting manage, local Users & Groups, Groups, then double click Administrators and then add, make sure that your 'look in'bar is set to the local machine and select the System Group. Click o.k, twice and to be on the safe side restart the machine then try to change the size to what you require.

That worked for me ! Good Luck.
