Hmmm, I did that (5GB C:), but that gets small very quickly. That
is/was with swap on C: too, so that then gets moved to D:.
That's odd. My C: is fine at 5GB, even with XP SP3 installed
(uninstall files located on data partition). It still has ~1GB free
despite me having a few 3rd party apps/utils installed there (Java,
AVG, Acronis, PerfectDisk, Nero...).
Should have mentioned that SOP for me is to not only put the pagefile on
another drive but also redirect 'My Documents", OE store and IE cache to a
data drive. (Not that I use IE...)
I don't use the 'My Documents' and also don't use Outlook Express. The
cache remains on C: though, as does the inital pagefile. Things tend to
get a bit cluttered after about half a year to a year that way with a 5GB
C:, which is why I upped it on my recent machines.
Also, with the current size of HDs, 5 or 10 or 25GB doesn't make much
difference anymore. ;)
