I have 2 disks: "Disk 0" containing C (29,29 GB) and D (27,97 GB) & "Disk 1" containing G (2 GB) and H (17,14 GB) but my XPPRO Computer Management console says that D + G are the primary partition while C + H are the extended partition and the logical drive.... I'm confused now!!! But if I understood you right maybe i shouldn't bother with the above details but put the swap file on, let's say, H? 1G will do it (I have 512 MB RAM but my System Properties show only 480 MB...)? Thanks :-) Maurice
