I just formatted and reinstalled XP. I've read a lot about placing your page file on the first partition of a second physical HD. I set up a partition on my second HD to act as a pagefile location but I have no idea how to move pagefile.sys. Please help. :)

Right click my computer, properties, advanced, performance, advanced, change, here is where you can 0 out the page file on drive C and move it to D, make sure both the min and the max numbers are the same, should be 1.5x your total physical RAM. So if you have 512MB of ram make the page file 768MB.

Thanks, I ended up figuring it was something like this. I just wanted to make sure. :)
