Anyone know how to do this? I need to disable pagefile temporarily so that I can resize my partition. Then I'll enable it again. Right now its at the end of the drive and I can only get about 30GB away from it when in reality I want it to free up about 200GB.

Anyone know how to do this?

Single clikc C drive, then below click No Paging File, then set.

You may need to reboot.

Check no paging file then Set. Reboot your machine, then do your resizing. Don't forget to backup data ;^)

Thanks alot, had been looking everywhere in there but didn't see the simple option of selecting "no paging file"

EDIT: And by thanks, I mean to both of you :)
