Is it 100% safe to move the pagefile.sys file from c: to another drive on Windows Server 2008? We are getting low on C: space and need to move it off, but not if there is any risk. This is a production web server and (other than a quick reboot) downtime is not acceptable, as you can imagine :)

I dont think this is a good place for such questions, its a programming related site,
I can give you a hint that this should be OK, It will even speed up you paging file, some reference below (I was actually reading it recently :) ):

following part:
What you should actually do is move your pagefile to a completely
different physical drive to split up the workload.
but confirm it with some windows admin experts

Is it possible?
I've tried adding the external drive (i.e., drive to be backed up) in Windows backup options, but I just get an error (0x80070032).
If it matters, I'm using an HDD for backup, and an SSD that needs to be backed up.
I came across "AOMEI Backupper". It does the job, and actually did save me from losing 6 months of work (from home). However, I ended up just buying a bigger SSD and backing up to an external SSD (so I have a portable copy if needed).
AOMEI works, but is a little "rough around the edges", if you know what I mean..

Hey Any one please help me !! An unknown extra drive is shown in My Computer and when i tried to open it ... it says Access Denied .... I don't know from where it come from and when i checked it in Disk Management its not their. Please help me to remove that drive.
Below is the screen short of that Drive & Disk Management.
When I restarted my Windows system it's gone.
Remember: You should do a restart, not a shut down.
I think it's related to Windows updates.
I wonder if this could be that 100MB Windows Reserved EFI system partition that you somehow started displaying instead of it being hidden by default.

My harddrive is approaching capacity and I'd like to find all the large folders on the drive to delete them manually. I searched for a way to do this and a lot of 3rd party utilities came up, but I was surprised I couldn't find a native win7 way of doing it. I don't have to do this often so I'd prefer not to install a tool specifically for this. I just need a listing of all folders that exceed a certain size.

What exactly does heart bleed do and how can I protect my Windows XP from heart bleed? I heard that it takes your personal info by using memory. Can I lock my memory so that it can't use it? And if so, some insight on the subject would be nice. :)
I'm going to assume you didn't intentionally install openssl on your XP machine and that you aren't using your XP machine as a server. It's likely that the only thing you really need to worry about is websites you communicate with where the possibility that your information could be stolen could result in a significantly negative outcome for you... you need to make sure those companies have patched their servers if they were affected by the issue.

First off, I am using Windows XP. I have multiple hard drives and it looks like something decided to make some folders on the second one ( which is just a data drive, no os ). These folders all have names like "e69f29f1b1f166d3d30b8c9f7156ba" and "bd92c24cc278614082cd88e7a64b". They contain folders named update, whose "access is denied", so my best guess would be they are Windows updates. So I probably can't get rid of them but could someone at least explain what they are and why they are on the wrong drive?
Windows will always use the hard drive with the most space to download windows updates. This is what happened to you.
