How can I create a pagefile larger than 4GB on one volume?

Open a registry editor (regedit for Windows XP; regedt32 for Windows 2000 or earlier).

Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management registry subkey.

Double-click PagingFiles. The entry will appear as in the following example:

 g:pagefile.sys 380 480 

The entry shows the pagefile's location, name, initial size, and maximum size.

To create multiple pagefiles on one volume, specify the names of the desired number of folders on the volume. For example, to create three pagefiles on volume G, enter

 g:pagefile1pagefile.sys 3000 4000 g:pagefile2pagefile.sys 3000 4000 g:pagefile3pagefile.sys 3000 4000 

Click OK.

Close the registry editor.

Reboot the machine.
