Windows Partitions and set it's minimum and maximum sizes to the same value to lock it
down. I tend to create a simple FAT16 partition of about 4 gigs with nothing but the paging file
and very little free space left over. This will speed up paging and prevent it from leaving a
mess of fragments on your OS and work disks.

im pretty sure i only have one partition, but how can i check to see if i have another one ? computer management>disk management ? shows only ( C: ) one partition running

i have no idea how to seperate paging files from windows partition
