re: Paging file & external drive Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 9:38 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by jam (13 messages posted) 1) You're better off leaving the swap file on C: The internal drive will probably be faster, and also, if you ever have a problem with the firewire connection, or forget to switch on the external HD then your PC will fail to boot if the swap file is on that drive. 2) These days it's generally best to let Windows manage the swap file size. Back in the old Win 9x days it was best to fix the size, but with XP or Vista you shouldn't need to.
