    Question About Pagefiles On Different Drives

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    To all my old friends here hello it has Ben a long time,

    The question I have is about a new pc I built i have 3 wd re4 500 in raid0 short stroked to 125 each as my os/game/app drive and I have a seagate 1tb 7200k.12 as my storage drive

    My question is I want to first make a small partition on the seagate drive for the page file and then partition the rest for storage and backups. What should I do about the page file on the os drive? Should I disable it? Or leave vary small one? and should I just let windows manage the page file on the different drive or should I manually set the min/max and if so what should I set it to? Old rule of thumb 1.5-2x the amount of ram I have installed?

    AMD 1090t oc at 4.1ghz

    Asus crosshair IV 890fx

    8 gigs of G.skill 1600 ddr3

    300 hours left so i stoped, maxtor drive is about 7 months wd is about year and 6, i got a new mobo and cpu because on the 26th i went to get on my computer in the morning and tryed to boot it up it would boot then restart then it would restart befor it would even start to load the os so i went in a restarting loop, and that gave me the incentive to get a new cpu

    i ran superfisk it said my boot sector was on line 33 on one hard drive and on the second one it said 2043 and it asked me if i wanted to fix it and set it back to 1 and i did

    i got my new mobo and cpu yesterday install both of them and when i try to install a os i start hitiing some speed bumps. at first when i tried to install vista i would get a can not rind a cdd/dvd device driver to fix that i switched dvd drives it fixed that. but then i hit a diffrent speed bump when i after i choose what disk i want to install to i get an error at the end saying that vista could not update the boot configration. so i try to reinstall now and i get a your system hardware may not support booting to this drive please check bios to see if the controler is enabled. i try to select a drive and windows says it can not find a volume that meets its critera So i say ok back to xp but i am hiting even more speed bumps when i get to the screen to choose what drive i would like i install to i try my maxtor 320 gig setup says that windows needs to install to a partiton, so i try to install to the outher disk it installs to that disk but whne i try to boot to it i get a windows is missing a file error hal.something file

    and when i install xp to the 320 maxtor drive i get a disk read error when i try to boot to it

    mobo is a gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3P

    cpu is 9600 phonom be

    first drive is a ide 320 gig maxtor

    2nd drive is a 250 gig wd sata drive

    i got the one i picked for 200 i picked it becuse i wanted 1980x1080 res and since it was a xmas gift i had to keep it at 200. some people say 21.5 is a little small for 1980x1080 but i think that is a fine size for that res i just cant wait till some one comes and starts talking about the cpu that i got and its infamos tlb bug but it will hold me over till amd comes out with there Phenom II and then they drop the price of them at a later time
