on 2/16/2009 Everything was blanked out for me and nothing in this article worked until I stopped using the drive for the paging file for virtual memory. In Disk Management out to the right of the word Healthy was (Paging file) if I recall. To fix this, I followed the steps in the below eHow article and choose "No paging file" and then clicked the "Set" button out to the right of that. That did the trick for my secondary drive and everything in this article worked like a champ after that. http://www.ehow.com/how_2226083_relocate-paging-file-windows-xp.html
