October 17, 200619 yr I have two HDs in my PC. First one has XP and FS9 and the second one has the page file on it. I'm thinking about installing FSX on the second drive. So it'll be on the same drive with page file and seperate from windows.Is that happen to be a bad idea for any reason?Thanks!!!Jason JasonFAA CPL SEL MEL IR CFI-I MEI AGI
October 17, 200619 yr Author What I do is keep a fixed size paging file on the 'C' drive and games on other drives. If you have a lot of memory your system won't page/swap much anyway. If there is some kind of problem with your system booting and you are doing a rescue, then it's better to have the paging file on the 'C' drive. If your secondary drive crashes and your paging file is on it, guess what, another problem.I don't claim to be an expert!
