You are working as a technician at Domain.com. You have just finished installing a Windows XP Professional workstation to a user. The workstation is fitted with two hard drives designated C: and D: respectively. The Operating System has been installed on the C: drive and the workstation boots normally. The user who received the computer runs several disk intensive programs and reports that the computer slows down when running these programs. Which of the following would be the BEST way to resolve this problem?
A.
Defragment the secondary hard drive.
B.
Increase the registry size by a factor of three.
C.
Move the Windows swap file to the D: drive.
D.
Re-install Windows XP Professional on the D: drive.
Explanation:
Having the swapfile (or pagefile) on the same partition as the system prevents the workstation from reading swapfile content at the same time as it reads operating system files or program files from the system partition.
