I would like to increase hard disk space in our exchage server. My C: partition capacity is 1.99GB. Only 225MB space is left out. Size of the Pagefile.sys 269 MB. Is it possible to move pagefile.sys to different partition?. or is there any solutionto increase my C: partition?

Right-click on My Computer and then select properties. Goto the Performance tab, about half way down the screen you will see Virtual Memory and a Change button. Select the change button, add virtual memory (pagefile.sys) to another drive THEN removethe virtual memory from the C drive. Reboot and you are done.

For the second part of your question, you could use a program like Partition Magic from PowerQuest to grab available disk space and add it to your C drive.

You can move the pagefile through- (right-click) My computer, choose properties. ON the Advanced Tab, find the Performance settings. You can choose the drive location and size of the Page file.
A reboot is required to make the changes take affect.

What you can do is:

a. Create a pagefile in another disk (about 2 times the installed RAM memory)
b.- Decrease the pagefile of the c: drive in order to match your minimun recomended by winnt.

You can find these settings under: control panel/system/performance/virtual memory

You can?t extend the c: drive unless you have free disk under the same partition. The boot drive could not be part of a strip set

Good luck

You can move the pagefile.sys to another drive and/or you can buy Partition Magic by Executive Software and increase or primary partition, provide you have additonal drive space on the same physical unit.
