Yes. That would be where you would put the Pagefile. In Linux that drive is called a SWAP Drive.

Is there a way to add this functionality to the XP install disc, so it comes default like that when you install?

you can import your themes into the window xp cd with nlite

If I don't have a second hard drive can I just make a new partition for the page file? , or does that defeat the purpose?

it would have a terrible access time which would defeat the purpose of it. Put it at the front of your 1st hard drive

Okay, it is showing the 6000 partion as unpartioned after I hit f3 f3 to restart,but it is showing the second partition as D still. (I am at the window where you can create partitions and such) is that because when it was restarting I hit f12 and selected boot from cd instead of just letting it boot from cd?

Nvm, I figured it out lol.
