Moving a Paging File question 1

[MrRetro]

Hello all
Quick question, what is the impact of not setting the 2 mb minimum when moving a paging file from one physical disk to another ?
Just curious if it is absolutely necessary and what is the impact of not setting it.

thanks in advance.

There is no room for an error dump file to be created.

Thanks Bill
Is that the only thing I need to worry about ? I am just trying to nail down why an NT 4 server (running Citrix) I inherited is rebooting out of the blue and came across that setting.

Read these as being a discussion of NT and not particularly XP:

Even NT 4 always wants a little scratch space for page file enumeration on the system volume. You might want to read this curious MS KB article:
