Can anyone tell me if these bad clusters suggest that my HDD is about to die, regardless of what the WD disk checker utility says? My understanding is that clusters on hard drives may lose their ability to reliably store magnetic data during the life of the drive.
This is handled by the os and the hdd. This can signal a hard drives impending failure or it may be nothing more than an old hard drive. Again, for right or wrong, this is my understanding. While a clean bill of health from drive diagnostic software is not necessarily an all clear, any failure code demands removal from service and RMA.
Generally, hard disk drives fail. They can do so at any moment, with or without warning, which is why backups are a good thing. If you have bad clusters, it's time to get a new hard drive. Hard drives, as shipped from the factory, contain a pool of spare sectors. To fix things, select the Change button, and then take a look at the options in the next window. To remove your pagefile.
Accept the changes and this will free up disk space. You may find that you need virtual memory, but you can stop things from getting out of hand. To reduce the amount of space your PC will allocate for virtual memory, just deselect 'automatically manage paging file size of each drive' and, instead, select the custom size option.

In general, if your system is performing a lot of hard paging, it means that you do not have enough memory on the system. When compared to moving a page file to a faster disk versus adding more memory to the system, adding memory will always perform better than moving the page file.
Never had an issue with it because I always configured the system to not need the page file except for the basics required by the operating system. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Internet Explorer TechCenter. Sign in. United States English.
