Dear Sir,

I am using RAM overlay EWF for C drive, and I need to set the virtual memory
on C drive too, I would like to know whether it is okay or not for such
settings.

regards,

Frankie Lai
 
Frankie,

Some strange things happen when you do that with EWF. (I have not yet tested this but Konstantin made some preliminary testing)
Please just use D: for pagefile and you will be ok.

Hi Slobodan,
I actually didn't have time to investigate the problem further (would love to have EWF sources for that :-) ).

Hi Frankie,
I basically agree with Slobodan on this: don't use the pagefile on EWF protected volume.
 
Call me crazy but.... wouldn't this make *no* sense at all? You're
using a part of your RAM to swap out another part of your RAM? What
could you possibly hope to achieve by doing this? I'd say that if your
application needs more RAM and installing a second (writable) disk
drive isn't an option, you just need to buy more RAM. EWF is not meant
to protect large amounts of rapidly-changing data (like pagefiles).
