Thread: Bad for Harddrive?

    Bad for Harddrive?

    I have an 6 gig hard drive and I decided to use it to store my mp3s on. Anyway, to make a long story short, I only have a little over 100 megs free. Will this hurt the hard drive other than performance?

    Shouldn't, unless your swapfile is on that drive too.
    Shall we buy a new guitar?
    Shall we drive a more powerful car?

    If the swap file tries to extend and it can't, things get ugly very quickly.
    stay low... keep moving...

    its not bad for the hard drive, nothing will happen to it, its just not good for system stability. you will just get memory errors if the pagefile is expanded.

    Okay, thanks guys... I don't think that it should cause any problems then...
