Boot time warning: a labeled partition is not present. - So what?
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! |
