  1. Getting more disk space from Windows XP

    in Tips and Tricks

    set minimum page filesize to (amount of ram)*1.5

    set maximum page filesize to (amount of ram)*1.5

     

    meaning min and max should be the same number.

     

    This will reduce HEAPS of disk fragmentation

    Actually if you have 1 GB of RAM you don't need a pagefile at all unless your using Photoshop. If want to keep a pagefile reduce to say 500MB min, 500Max

    Extremely simple, I wonder why I've never thought of it before.

     

    ->I have Win XP with only a few programs installed, so why does it take up 7 Gig? Program Files is 700 mb, Windows is 1.7 Gigs, others 1 gig.

     

    So I went to Start>applications>accessories>system>system restore then clicked settings, then I reduced the maximum disk space it was using to 200mb.

     

    Like magic, I now have 1.5 gigs more free space! Now you can use DiskDrake or Qtparted or whatever to donate that space to Linux. I'll try to track down the rest of the missing gigabytes, happy defragging! :lol2:

     

    on a 20 gig hard drive, 1.5 gig is a lot. :P

    If you reduce the size of your pagefile you will gain X amount of space. :P
