None system drive marked as active

I don't want to make the I drive active, I want to make it inactive. Since the option to make it active is greyed out, I assume it is already active, which it shouldn't be. The only other partition that is active is the 100mb windows partition on my C drive.

On my other computer, that is the only active drive, so I am not sure why I is also active.

I gave the 100mb partition a drive letter. When I installed windows on my other computer years ago, I couldn't make any changes to msconfig (setting safe boot, etc). and I read somewhere that giving that partition a drive letter would solve the problem, so I did. I did it on this computer too, to be consistent. I have not had any problems in years by doing this so I don't think that is the problem. And like I said, my other computer only has that partition active.

So my concern is why my I drive is active.

And yes, I moved the paging file to a 10,000 rpm mechanical disk cause I had read it was better to keep it off an SSD. I did it on my other computer for that reason, and to save space as that SSD was much smaller. So I figured I would do it on this computer as well. And again, this has not cause any noticeable problems to me.

So the real question is why is I active and why can't I make it inactive with disk part.

Thank you.

But why if I right click on my H drive is there an option to make it active? It is only greyed out on the I drive which I don't understand.

I haven't noticed any slow down with the page file being on the 10,000 rpm drive, but I guess I would have to move it to the SSD to see if I notice a difference. And I do some video editing so I definitely want a page file.

Thanks.

ah ok. And so the I drive is greyed out because C is already active. So I is not actually active I guess?
Then I should just leave things the way they are.

The thing is on my other computer, all other drives (even the one with the page file) have the option to click make active. That is why I'm confused that it is different on this computer.

But I guess everything is working so I will leave it.

I've always read it should be at leaat the size of your ram. I think i have it set that way (i have to check) It has been like this for 5 years and i haven't had any problems.

Although this has strayed from my original issue (which I believe the answer is don't worry about the fact that the I drive is possibly set to active), since I have not noticed any problems with my computer for 5 years (including doing video editing), is there any reason I should set my page file to smaller than my amount of ram, and/or move it to my SSD drive?

Thank you.
