https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/winpe-pagefile-and-nc6400-laptop-problem/m-p/3913669#M7651 Hi all<BR /><BR />Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but didn't know where to post it.<BR /><BR />I have a problem with our automated system build. It uses WinPE (compiled from Win XP SP2 and booting from DVD) to build our systems to a corporate standard.<BR /><BR />This works fine on all our current HP / Compaq kit. However, on an nc6400 laptop, it does wierd stuff.<BR /><BR />On boot, it decides that it needs a pagefile, which it then creates on the C:\ drive. This then makes it impossible for the system to build the computer using our images as the WinPE pagefile stops any disk operations (format etc).<BR /><BR />Does anyone know why an nc6400, with more than adequate resources (512MB ram, SATA drivers slipstreamed into WinPE) would decide to create a pagefile when an nx8220 (with 128MB and an IDE drive) doesn't?<BR /><BR />Or does anyone know how to disable pagefile creation completely in WinPE?<BR /><BR />I don't care about running out of resources at build time, as I can use this lack of resource to justify hardware upgrades.<BR /><BR />Any help etc would be greatly appreciated<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance<BR /><BR />Andy Fri, 15 Dec 2006 07:10:21 GMT Andrew Duckworth 2006-12-15T07:10:21Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/winpe-pagefile-and-nc6400-laptop-problem/m-p/3913669#M7651 Hi all<BR /><BR />Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but didn't know where to post it.<BR /><BR />I have a problem with our automated system build.
