holy crap, hibernation. totally forgot about hibernation.
silly feature. never used it.anyway, glad you got your continuity back man. let the fast seek times roll.
Ah yes someone else mentioned hibernation before! Of course. The more Ram you have the more it has to store.
If you pick the custom option in the page file settings tab, and set the maximum and minimum to the recommended size, after the reboot, you have one contigious file that wont change size, so no fragmented page file. No Problem.
Hi guys
I had fragmentation issues once I upgraded to 2GB ram as well, I had to install diskeeper 2008 to sort out the issues for me, since installing this my hard drive is in perfect shape.
Hi,
the reason it will have fragmented your drive, is that by putting in more ram, windows will have doubled the size of its paging file, I think the pageing size is 1.5 times as big as the amount of ram you have( from memory), so by allocating this , it may have fragmented. Also any hibernation file would also have increased from 1G to 2G, which could also be fragmentedThanks wilx, I think this is mentioned on the previous page too. I think I’ll add it to the faq as well for future reference!
Your hibernation file (hiberfil.sys) as well as your pagefile will be 2Gb in size now. I’ve seen occasions where these can’t be defragmented simply because there’s not a 2Gb contiguous space. Windows can’t defragment these files when it’s online either.
Try PageDefrag which will do the job during boot. It will defragment any system files that are usually locked by Windows.
I’m not sure this will fix your problem but it will help.
Another program to check out is JKDefrag. Like most of these programs, it uses Windows’ defragmentation engine but the ‘GUI’ version has PageDefrag built in.Run without paging file if you got 3gb RAM in winXP. i’ve done that the last 7 years using XP.
and i will definitly do that on the NC10 when i recieve it next week, should consume less power to since no spinning of the harddrive all the time while using the Pagefile.Less fragmentation, less loading time and everything runs alot faster 🙂

The hard drive will still be spinning, and will still be accessed for other tasks, (writing to log files etc…). It still may help reduce power by a slight amount though.I just installed 2gb ram and now have same defrag problem. States it is 16% per windows.
I used defraggler and it didnt fix anything.
I changed page file system to system managed. Still didnt fix anything.
I am not sure what I am supposed to do to fix!! Thanks!
