Hi,

I have a FAT32 HD which is working with Windows 98SE as
Secondary slave HD in one of my computers. MY Other
computer runs Windows XP home and its HD (primary master
or start up HD) is a NTFS one.

I would like to attach the first HD (the FAT32 HD) to my
other Computer as secondary slave HD then move the
windows xp paging file to the FAT32 HD to enhance the
performance.

I am just wondering if this is possible. Could anyone
help me please.

Thanks
davoud

Should be no problem..
Windows XP reads FAT32 natively..

No problem. Don't expect too much out of moving the page file, and be
sure you leave a notional one also on the C: where it is - say initial 2
max 50. With out that the system is inclined to sulk and do weird
unpredictable things with page file
 
Thanks very much for your message alex. I am gonna try
it. I will leave the page file in the c: and make another
one in the other HD. As I understand windows will use the
page file in the other HD (secondary slave one) since it
won't have alot of traffic, but do you think it is better
to emphesize it by highlighting and setting the page file
of the other HD in the "virtual memory" dialogue box?

Thanks again and sorry I am replying a little late.

Cheers
