The way Windows 2000 works, I don't need to manually delete the file as far as I know. I couldn't see a file named Pagefile.sys on that drive after making the change.

It must be something related to the file allocation somehow, I can't think of anything else it could be.

By the way, when I said "center" of the disk, I meant that the stripe is in the middle of the graph. If it were physically at the center of the disk close to the spindle, then it would have been at the left end of the graph. I'm sure you all knew what I meant though.
