Re: moving "Program Files" to another drive / partition help
Defrag your drive - more than once if needed, and yes, move the paging file to a different drive or partition. The page file should not be a big problem seeing as how you have 512MB of RAM.
To change your Paging File:- click Start, Settings, Control Panel, System icon, Advanced tab. On the Advanced tab, click Performance Options, and under Virtual memory, click Change. Because you have a number of partitions, a drive list will be dispalyed. In the Drive list, click the drive that contains the paging file. If you have not changed it before, it should be on C: Have a good look at the settings already there, make a note of them on paper. Then under Paging file size for selected drive, change to zero both in the Initial size (MB) and Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set. Then select another partition and type in the recommended amount in both Max and Min and then click Set. Even though there is a max and a min, your computer will perform better if the values are the same.
You must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. Hope this helps.
