Pagefile on Ramdisk with WinXP?
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2009 5:11 am
Hi,
VSuite Ramdisk is great - it's turned my unused 1.5GB of RAM into a blazingly fast RAM disk! Thanks!
But I can't get WinXP to use it for my pagefile. I originally wasn't using a pagefile. Then I created your ramdisk and put the pagefile on it. XP seemed happy, and I could even see the pagefile in the RAM disk. But when I rebooted it didn't create a new pagefile - it reverted to my C drive. I've tried several times with the same results.
Is there a trick to making a ram-based pagefile work? Any tips appreciated!
Cheers,
Fred
