If you are going to move it you should move it to a different disk on a
different controller. You don't want to move it to a different
partition on the OS disk and for older IDE controllers you don't want it
on a disk that is in a slave relationship to the OS disk.

Hi Jeff

yeah I don't have much options for this as the blade server does not have
any additional disk slots.
Thanks for your advice!

Hi John

thanks for your advice, and I understand the advantages of putting the page
file on a separate physical drive, but I have no options regarding this, so I
have to make do.

In that case keep it on the same partition as the operating system.

How can you have two drives on the same partition. Don't you mean the
partitions are on the same physical drive? Is raid 1 mirrored? In which case
both the physical drives contain exactly the same data.

Sorry, typo. Should have been 2 partitions on same drive!
