I plugged in a lapotop Hard disk to a PC to format it.
After the first boot from the Original HD the machine
automatically moved the Pagefile to the Laptop hard disk
which the machine took as C drive (System was now D) This
prevented me from Formatting. When I removed the pagefile
from the Laptop Hard disk the system now says No Page file
and gives great instructions on how to fix it. It also
goes back to a login prompt. Login - Error -Login
Irritating Cycle. Knowledgebase Article also explains
fully how to set a pagefile but I can't get in to do it.
Tried recovery, Safe Mode, etc. No way.
 
Worked perfectly. Thanks.
