Set Pagefile to None, Reboot, Defrag the volume, then set a manually
sized pagefile of say 256 or 384 Megabytes ( Min/Max ). I still would
recommend you use Add/Remove programs ( Windows Components )
and then say XPLite to trim back the footprint of XP. You can also
reduce it further if you purge the \DllCache which will recover ~500 Meg.
Actually, I'd download and use Perfect Disk 8.0 in both a Boot and
GUI mode pass to get the drive optimized. On several occasions I've
been able to get Windows XP installed/running in a 2.7 Gigabyte disk
footprint.

I just completed a fresh installation of WinXP and I immediately began
getting the "System Has No Paging File or the Paging File Is Too Small"
error. Before asking my question I thought I'd review the other posts to
see
if I could fix the problem. My project requires only the OS and my
control
application so a small (4GB) removable microdrive was selected. The drive
has only one partition. Both files C:\pagefile.sys and
C:\windows\system32\temppf.sys were located on the drive.
I followed the suggestions in KB Article 315270 and ensured that all users
(Administrator and one other) has Full Control permissions. I also
followed
some suggestions from Pegasus about giving everybody full access using the
"cacls c: /e /g everyone:F" command, and ensuring that the SYSTEM account
has
full access to the HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management registry key. I even checked that the "Read-only" box was not
checked in the C:\pagefile.sys properties per someones suggestion.
Nothing
fixed the error.
Finally, following a thought from R. McCarty that the C:\pagefile.sys file
might be corrupt, I deleted it thinking that a new file would be created
when
I set the page file size in Windows
Explorer\Properties\Advanced\Performance\Advanced\Virtual Memory. Of
course
that wasn't the case, and I am unable to copy
C:\windows\system32\temppf.sys
to the root because the system says the file's in use.
Can anyone offer any assistance?
