There is a way to have the swap file reside on the other drive. That would probably solve the problem. I've done it in the past, but unfortunately, I don't remember how to do it. I did it on my last computer, but not on my current one. Sometimes knowing something is possible is a help. I believe it is under Control Panel/System/Virtual Memory. I think you can change the drive there. I hope this helps you, Ericroy
