If you really did have your swapfile on a second HD, you are still
apparently pointing to it in your Environment settings - and if you've
removed said HD, then it's no wonder that your system is complaining!!

Set the VM manager to 'Allow Windows to manage....' and then forget about it
for a few hours - then see what the actual settings are.

On my WinME box, I originally installed the OS with a dedicated swap
partition (F on the main physical drive.

A while later I moved the VM to a separate spindle, for sake of extra
speed:
- added a dedicated swap partition on the second physical drive
- labeled it 'SWAP'
- relabeled F: to 'SWAP2'.

The previous, dedicated swap partition on the main drive (F: = SWAP2)
remained unused, as WinME (unlike 2k / XP) can only handle one VM file.

About a month ago I increased the RAM to a point where the VM is
little used.

I did not need some extra VM speed, so I
- got rid of the second drive
- relabeled the SWAP2 partition to SWAP
- reverted the VM file location to F: .

Now the VM file now happily lives there.

All is fine, except Windows keeps complaining on startup:

"Disk 'SWAP2' not present."

and stops for a bunch of seconds to make sure I get the message.

I thought it might be a message from a drive-relettering/renaming
utility, but this is not the case. On this machine I never needed to
reletter anything - I just changed a few partition labels.

I am also pretty sure I never ever used any application or OS feature
that referred to partitions by name, as opposed to by letter.


QUESTIONS:

1 - Do I have to worry?
[I don't think so.]

2 - If it's not too much trouble to do so,
how do I convince Windows not to look
for the SWAP2 partition?'

Thank you in anticipation!
