    Dual boot ... pagefile question

    I run dual boot (XP/2k) with 2 boot drives and one "storage" drive.
    Could I encounter any problems if I put my virtual memory (pagefile.sys) on the same drive ie. using the same file for both o/s's.
    Its just supposed to be temporary I don't think it should cause any issues, but thought it best to ask just in case

    I can't really see there being a problem. However, I'd make sure you set a specific size and that it's identical in both OSes so the file isn't getting resized.

    If it doesn't work, safemode will always save you.

    Let us know if it works!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
