My point exactly...Lots of things that aren't supported /can/ be done,
but since they aren't supported, the results are unpredictable, and the
consequences are the sole responsibility of the user.

yes Gordon, according to that site as well according to the microsoft the
support for the USB external hard drive for windows xp pro from sp1 has
started
and i have done the same procedure, but the problem was the page file is not
creating i.e. pagefile.sys in c drive
i think this is because that the system is not able to recognize properly
the partitions and it is not creating that
so if u know that please return to me
thank u

have you tried manually creating it? (Right-Click on My Computer, choose
properties, go to the Advanced Tab. Click on "Settings" under performance,
go to the Advanced Tab, and at the bottom, under Virtual memory click on
"change")

Does your computer have an internal hard drive? Why aren't you using
that?
