Dear members, For long calculations, sometimes a message appears, telling the program is out of disk space. The kernel shuts down. I searched the archives for the list, and found a number of postings on this issue, but none of them solved my problem. I have 1.7 G of free space in my internal hard disk, but also have 22 G free in my Buslink USB external hard drive. I would like to use this space for the calculations. In Windows98 (control panel, system, performance, advanced, virtual memory) there is an option to use this space, but it seems like its either internal disk or external disk. I didn't dare to change it to the external disk, because I received a scary message from W98 (you may not be able to restart your computer). If I change the settings, will I be able to restart the PC? Is there a way to use both disks succesively? Is there a way to use the external one, but without restarting the computer? Is it possible to do this directly from Mathematica? Thanks for your help. Julio
