How can I move virtual memory on hard drive external?

I use windows xp. I have problems with virtual memory. I have an external hard drive. How can I move virtual memory external hard disk? I get a message that my virtual memory is low. My computer is running very slowly. Is there another answer to my problem?

You can increase virtual memory instead of what you think now... You can find good info on how to do http://www.delete-computer-history.com/increase-virtual-memory.html and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308417. However, for convenience, I'll include some steps below...

"How to increase virtual memory? ."

In Windows XP

1. on start and then click Control Panel.
2. click on performance and Maintenanceand then click System.
3. on the Advanced tab, under performance, click settings.
4. under the Advanced tab, under virtual memory, click on change.
5. under drive [Volume label], click the drive that contains the swap file that you want to change.
6. under paging file size for selected drive, click custom size check box. You can enter the amount of memory you wish to book for virtual memory by entering the initial and maximum size.
7. click on set
When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
Special note: You must choose the same amount for the initial size and maximum size. This will stop your CPU from the pagefile evolving. "(found in the link above)

  • How can I move the OS to another drive.

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE with Win7 Pro as my OS and a single 1 TB HD.  Is it possible to move my C and D partitions to a smaller drive?  If so, how do I.  (I realize I have to buy another drive... (LOL).

    Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions, C ;-)

    Hello cindy906, you should be able to add a smaller hard drive to your system and use the restore disks HP recovery that you should already have, while leaving the current hard drive installed.

    There is a question that you would need to know. If you leave the current hard drive cables connected and use the Recovey HP restore to reimage the new hard drive, when you start the installation of the Windows operating system, the installation program (System partition) can be changed on the current hard drive. If you install Windows7 SP1, the Boot Manager will be changed and make the current version no longer starts.

    Windows 7 creates a configuration (System) partition when it installs hidden. When there is already a system on a system partition, Windows 7 will be find and replace it with the new OS when you update to Windows 7 SP1.

    Once the new disk has been reimagee with the game to restore HP Recovery disks, and the operating system has been installed, you can then reconnect the cables on the current hard drive and use it as a backup drive or delete it if you prefer.

    You would not be able to move the current hard disk to another system, for legal reasons and problems of compatibility with the already installed drivers for the HP computer, unless you formatted the hard drive and deleted the C: and D: partitions and the hidden partition of 100 MB.

    If all three partitions are formatted, the reader could be wiped clean and could be used on another system.

    Hello 88feederups, apparently, your only recourse is to press F-7 to continue and see if the system boots to the desktop.

    If you manage to get to the desktop, I suggest trying to backup your important data and make sure you have a version of Windows XP. You must also consider finding a new hard drive.

    The failed Test Smart can be a reason for the hard drive do not completely, if not already.

    Here is the link for the specifications of your system and it shows the system comes with a hard drive of 160 GB Ultra DMA.

    It is a type IDE ATA hard drive and not the new kind of Sata.

  • How can I move media files & media players to external hard drive

    My internal hard drive is "full" and showing less than 10% free space.
    I presume that it is slow, because there is not enough space on the hard disk to be used as temporary storage.

    I WANT TO SPEND ALL MY MEDIA FILES AND MEDIA PLAYERS (REAL PLAYER & WINDOWS MEDIA

    I NEED HELP TO KNOW HOW EXACTLY, STEP BY STEP, TO DO THIS.

    I NEED HELP TO KNOW HOW EXACTLY, STEP BY STEP, TO DO THIS.

    Three points:

    1. software (Real Player or any other) should generally not be on
    external hard drives. It can cause problems. So you shouldn't do it.

    2 move a program from one drive to another (external or not) is
    difficult. This is because besides that the software itself, there is
    usually many references to it and its location in | Windows, in the
    Registry and elsewhere. Search and replace all of these references is
    very hard. There is a software that is supposed to do, but in my
    experience, none of this works perfectly. I recommend strongly against
    it.

    3. move media files is easy. You can move the files to a disk
    to another exactly like you would move them from one folder to another.
    There are several ways, but cut-and - paste and drag - move are the
    may be simpler and more common. If you do not know how
    write again for more information.

  • Pavilion 15-ab057nr: How can I change for one SSD HARD drive and update my RAM?

    Hi, I would like to change the hard drive of my computer (Pavilion 15-ab057nr) for one ssd and also add another module of RAM. The problem is that I've never opened a laptop before, and I don't know where to start, or what should I do after I opened the computer. I don't know if anyone could help me by giving me a guide on how to perform these upgrades, every little detail would be useful. Thank you.

    Hi @IYMF,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab057nr and tried to help you! I looked in your question about upgrading the internal hardware. I understand that you are looking to upgrade your hard drive to a Solid State Drive, as well as adding another module of RAM.

    Here is a link to your Service Manual. You can find the specifications for compatible discs on page 49. Please note that this laptop model doesn't support that type hybrid Solid State Drives.

    Maintenance manual, page 55, there will be a list of the size of RAM supported, but also a guide on the replacement of the RAM. Up to 16 GB of RAM may be supported in a 8GB x 2 configuration.

    On pages 46 to 50 of your maintenance manual, you will find instructions on how to remove the rear panel of the laptop, as well as, instructions on the removal of the original hard drive.

    I also found this Vidéo Guide giving visual aid on the replacement of the hard disk. The model of laptop in the video is not exactly the same as the model that you have, but it can provide assistance, however.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • How can I add an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300

    I installed an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300. He only appears in "Device Manager" and shows to work but he does not appear in 'my computer' and has not assigned a drive letter. It's a western digital 1200js-22mhbo. My drive root 'C' is also a wd1200jd from western digital. Can someone tell me what I do to get it to show up with a drive letter, and I have to format it? Also, there is a way to format so I can install programs on it as my "C" drive or I just will be only able to use it as extra storage? Thanks a lot for your help!

  • How can I restore Vista after replacing hard drive?

    Hi I have a PC laptop toshiba stellite with basic windows vista preinstalled, I suffered a hard drive failure and I had to install a new hard drive, I did save the procedure hard disk original and recorded on the disc but the disc will not work on the new hard drive, I have still the product key for the original operating system can I how can restore the operating system to factory condition

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
