XP Pro virtual memory optimization: Flash Drive & disc?

I have a question - several actually, on win XP Pro virtual memory optimization when using both/either SATA hard drive and USB Flash drive.

I read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308417 and a few other resources around the web forum, but don't see any true geniuses answers about what measures lead to high performance.
I understand about the benefits of min and max, but what kind of division, if any, should be used?
the particular system with what I experience is a laptop presario that has "fast" USB 2 and SATA 150 drive interface using a typical disk of 80 GB at 5400 RPM.
Max transfer through this channel sata speed is much higher on paper than USB, but of course that is not the whole story.  and the usb flash drives themselves vary considerably in their performance in practice.  I don't know, for example, if, given the two devices as memory virtual stores, it's better to spread the load between the two [I have a concept/model in mind raid] or to bias the allocation manually for the flash/RAM?  It is best to let windows manage the space or is the virtual memory model for XP too primitive to make a good job of determining how to use what device?
Thanks for any help

  • 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)

  • iDRAC7 virtual media - USB flash drive map

    I'm testing a new T320 with an iDRAC7. Management station is Win 7 with IE 9. With the virtual console open I select Virtual Media > launch Virtual Media. A USB stick is mounted on the management station. The flash player appears in the virtual media window in the E drive and a new drive will appear on the managed system named "CD Drive (E :) ». If I select the mapped check box flash drive, nothing changes in the details pane, the two entries still say "not mapped". Similarly the contents of drive is not accessible from the managed workstation.

    After some searching around it appears this behavior occurs when the plugin type is set to Native uner Console > Virtual Console. If the type of plug-in type is changed to Java then flash can be mapped as expected.

    So I was wondering if there is something that can be done to make it work with the type of plug-ins native (ActiveX) that I prefer not to use Java.

    The picture below shows the problem - the USB box is selected but the drive is not mapped, it shows just like a CD player empty on the target system.

    Usually if the native mode does not work but Java, then something goes wrong with the ActiveX plugin.  If you disable your browser plugins and make sure the DRAC is a trusted Site with all ActiveX scripts allowed for that zone, then usually the plugin will download and run correctly.  If it still does not work, try another browser like Firefox or IE8.

  • Virtual memory problem?

    Hello

    I run Vista 32 bit on a Dell laptop (Core 2 Duo T8300 2.40 GHz with 4 GB of RAM installed to)
    On a laptop earlier under XP, I have improved performance with virtual memory on a form different disk with the operating system.
    So, I tried to use the same option on my Vista laptop.

    I have the following problems / symptoms:

    (1) SearchIndexer.exe continously uses 50 to 70% of CPU (but it doesn't seem to be the disk activity hard anycontinueous)

    (2) Microsoft Outlook 2007 does not start. I just get the blue white screen with the yellow tone of Outlook 2007, and then he hangs up. One is to close to complete the process via the Task Manager
    The next time I try to start, it displays the option to start in safe mode. If I do, Outlook 2007 starts OK (I do not know what to do with Outlook in safe mode to correct things if :-()

    (3) IE8 starts and seems to operate normally (though slower). However, whenever I restart IE8 it displys the warning that IE8 last time ended abnormally and provides options to start with the last URL used either with normal start page

    Trying to catch exactly what I have done and in what order, I'm not really sure that Outlook was closed when I changed the location of the virtual memory to 100%.

    I know I probably screwed up a kind of grand, and I only hope that there is a way to get the thing corrected without having to reinstall everything from scratch.

    I tried to use this last system restore point, but the restoration doesn't go through, because of an unspecified problem.
    I ran the diagnostics Office option. Who reported no problems.
    I have reset virtual memory on OS drive, leaving the size and location of control Vista.

    Grateful for any help or suggestion in order to avoid a complete reinstallation. Editing the registry?

    It should not. In fact, I would recommend keeping the virtual memory (swap file) on the HDD main and just allowing advanced performance of the drive in the Device Manager.

    You can go to Device Manager, expand the category of 'Hard drives', right-click you primary hard drive > properties, click the 'Policies' tab and select 'Advanced Performance' at the bottom.

    The deactivation of the service should not affect your other programs unless they use the Windows Service of Indexer to search for things. As for example, Outlook uses the indexer to allow you to quickly search through your mail. The key word is quickly. Outlook can return to the default search is slower, but really what the majority of users have been used anyway.

  • Can not upgrade the system image on a flash drive

    I am running Windows 7 on an Optiplex 780 desktop computer.  I want to put the image of the system and a repair on a flash drive disc.  The choices seem to make it impossible.  Is there a way to do this?  Is this a bad idea?  If so, why?

    Thank you

    Jan

    Hi Jan,

    I'm not an expert on the subject by any means, so I could be wrong (and I hope someone will correct me if I am) but I don't think you can do this on a single USB.  I think, because both the iso image and the repair utility both must be bootable on USB port, it won't work.   At least, not easily.  There may be some company out there that offer this feature, but basic Windows Imaging and repair utilities, I don't think it will work.

    I did a google search and could not find someone announces a way to do it on a single USB key.  It could be simply the keywords I used.

    Mainly looking to have a simple USB for use in a large number of 780s installed?

    This does not work on Windows operating systems as Windows does not allow the location of the swap file on removable disks.  Also, USB flash drives are not faster hard drives, random reads are faster on flash drives, but sequential read and writes are faster on hard disks.

    ReadyBoost (available on Vista and newer operating Windows operating system) uses devices USB flash to portions of cache of the file on the USB flash drives and memory manager and then decide who is fastest and where to get updated information caching.  The point to note is that the file itself is not on the flash drive and it is only stored anything on the flash drive is not present in and supported by the pagefile before anything actually on the flash drive, it must first be stored in the swap file.

  • Can anyone recommend a good for a MacBook Pro USB flash drive?

    I have just implemented a new of the retina end 2015 13 "MacBook Pro and you are looking for a 128 GB + good for fast backups flash drive while looking around a hard drive for use with Time Machine or SuperDuper.

    I'm particularly interested in: (1) A flash drive that is pre-formatted for a platform of Mac OS X for recent models. (Couldn't find it from what I saw on Amazon.)  (2) I believe that the current MacBook Pro USB 3.0, but yet there seems to be a lot of disc memory flash USB 2.0 autour.  Anyone found a good 3.0 flash drive Mac compatible in size 128 - or 200 GB? (3) If you happen to have one, it would be swell to find a drive lean enough to fit comfortably in a port USB of the MacBook, even if something is next to him.

    Thanks - much appreciated suggestions!

    You can format external hard drive for Mac OS X with disk utility.

  • MacBook Pro not recognize Flash Drive/USB

    Hi all

    I'm reading the display, but I am still having problems with the connection of external drives directly (to the two USB ports or over the network).

    More recently, I got a new USB Flash drive that can connect to my iPhone, iPad 12 "Pro and even my older laptop Samsung Galaxy AND when connected to a PC, they all read, I even downloaded and installed the app on my iPad and iPhone to read and use the drive (drive Mobile, i-USB-Stocker).

    I have Apple Care and reached out to their troubleshooting why and was advised that if he isn't an Apple drive, unit of time machine, or essentially bought in a store so that they will not support it.

    I use and hub USB external to add other readers USB, and these work fine.  I have looked at the system report and think I found the device, but do not yet appear on finder or display on the desktop like any other.

  • How to use a blank disc DVD-R as a USB flash drive?

    Hi all! I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro and I was wondering how I could use a blank DVD-R disc as a form of rewriting for documents, music, spreadsheets, etc. ? My mac Let's burn me to the disc, but I can't rewrite to it after that. Help, please!

    They don't work that way. Rewritable means simply you can erase the disc and use it again. You can't write it during normal use of the disk. This, to a USB flash drive.

    To be same rewritable, you can use a DVD - RW, DVD - r not it is not rewritable. You can look for third-party software that allow you to use the drive as a flash drive, but I am not sure that these programs exist. Not much need for it.

    Hi Mike,.

    I think you mixed a lot of The RAM (Random Access Memory) has * nothing * to do with disk space von Vista (c).
    Vista with low disk space partition is stored on the HARD disk and the second partition (E :) as well.
    RAM and HARD drive are completely different. All your data/files are stored on the HARD drive because the RAM is no place to save the data.

    In any case, I think you need to move some files from partition C: to E: partition like photos, music, etc. Then, you can get rid of this error message.
