Just read a post suggesting that a second hard drive is
optimal to use for your virtual memory. But, how do you
configure XP to use the second hard drive and not the
first which obviously contains the operating system?
 
From the desktop, right click 'My Computer' click properties, advanced tab.
Under performance, click settings. On the next screen, click advanced. At
the bottom, you will see 'Virtual memory', click change. You then can
highlight/select which drive you want to place the page/swap file on. You
can set the min/max level to your liking, but if you are not experiencing
difficulties accept the amount listed and place it on the second HD.

HTH,
