Title: Turn off Page file before making Ghost image?
Post by Teefermup on Aug 13^th, 2008 at 2:44pm

I just need to know if you can turn off the page file in XP Home SP3 before making an image with Ghost 2003.793. If not how small could you make it so the image would be made correctly.

Sincerely, Teefermup

Hello Teefermup,
welcome to RADIFIED ... :) ... !

Ghost 2003 excludes all "one session files" (pagefile.sys, hiberfil.sys and others) from the image. No need to bother about disabling or minimizing.

On my system, hibernation is disabled and the pagefile is set to 768-1536 MB which means that it is fixed at 768 MB until an extreme situation calls for an expansion (up to 1536 MB) after which it gets reduced back to 768 MB. My images are always 768 MB smaller than used space.
