Well so talking about the page file I would like to give you some detail over it, people working with windows and who have 2 hard drives and also if one disk has multiple drive after partition it is always advisable to change the page file source or may be virtual memory file to some other drive on the disk, We can talk over it in more simple way, if your system is been running out of the RAM processing in the large amount of the data, this windows and the inactive changes the background processes and in the pre allocated hard disk which makes it a part of the system ram, and if you are not having this page file than the process would be really slow and the system would ask you to restart the program.

The system pagefile like Pagefile.sys is been hidden file and this is hidden on the hard drive on the computer that windows XP would be using it would be in a random access memory. The virtual memory and the paging file compromise with physical memory. Normally by default the page file is stored on the default file is on the drive on which the program file is stored. The recommended size of the paging file is 1.5 times the total RAM. This article describes how to configure the paging file for system optimization and recovery.

5. Now click on the change button which is in the virtual memory .
6. Now just simply uncheck the automatically manage paging file size for all drive option.
7. Just highlight the c drive and then select the system managed size and then click on the button set.

First you must be logged into the administrator id
A. Now you got to go on start and then into control panel.
B. Now click the performance and maintenance and then go to the system.
C. Need to click on the advance tab now look for the performance and click on the system from that.
D. Look out for the advanced tab and then under virtual memory change.
E. Now when you are able to see the drive list click on the drive just select the other drive then the windows drive now when you can see the option total paging file size for all drivers, here you have to note the value displayed next to the option recommended
F. Go to custom size and then type the value that you have got in the initial size.
G. And the max value in the max size and click set.
H. Now in the drive option you can click on the drive which the windows has been installed and then if you don’t want to page file then press no pagging file and click set if you can see the pagefile on the c drive is 126mb or less in the initial size then system must not be able to create the debugging there would be a stop error and continue anyways press yes.
I. Custom size and then type a value is equal to or greater than the amount of ram type the initial size value that is equal to or greater than the amount of ram and type the same value in the maximum.
J. Now restart the system.

Well friend I would be saying that it is generally recommended to move the page file off of C if it is a traditional hard drive, custom programs now the difference as the operating system that is operated, the only time I do not want to know if it is a SSD. Improve overall performance if you use the page file and if it does, you do not have enough RAM and I would also say that if you are confirm that you have now complete info about it then only do it on your own.
