pagefile.sys

Just in case someone else has trouble with Defraggler ending with a large unfragmented
result at the end of defragging. This problem occurred on a 64-bit computer and not
on a 32-bit computer.  I have 6G of ram and windows 7 set the Pagefile at 6100mb.
This did not work. Changing it to 2 1/2 times the size of ram solved the unfragmented problem.

Unless Windows 7 is a big memory hog, with your 6 Gb of Ram, you should not need 6100 Mb of Ram.

I use 400 Mb for my PageFile  with 3 Gb or Ram with XP.

I have found MyDefrag v4.3.1 to be very good.

Take care,

Hi shankle,

A practical solution is to reboot the computer with a Windows Preinstallation Environment ( PE ) disc and delete pagefile.sys. Run Defraggler to defragment the drive.

Hi Magnum and Vortex,
HP doesn't supply a disk anymore. so I can't follow your instructions.
From what I have been reading deleting the Pagefile is a nono.
Anyway it's working fine now on the 64-bit computer.
Windows xp and 7 are two different birds.

Hi shankle,

you could try to install your Windows 7 onto an USB drive. It's not easy but possible.

This is not true. Deleting the pagefile does not have any negative effect. ( deleting it in a Win PE environment. )

Imagex.exe is Microsoft's imaging tool and it excludes the pagefile file by default :

yes - nothing new about deleting the pagefile
you may lose a few settings or whatever, but it shouldn't cause major issues
