Vista - Resizing a Partition

I couldn't decide where this should be asked, so I decided to try general
first.

Have 2 HDD's installed on my maching:

#1 - 300 GB
#2 - 160 GB

I would like to make a partition at the end of Disk 1 for my pagefile. When
I get into the Disk Manage snap-in, and tell it to resize disk 1 I receive
and error message saying that an Unexpected Error had occured that prevented
the operation and to check the System Error Log to find the error. I checked
all the sections in the system error log and there are no errors listed.
Does anyone have any ideas about this?

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate

HP Pavilion with Pentium 4 3.06 MHz processor
2 GB RAM.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Benny

Having the pagefile on a separate partition that's on the same drive as the OS gains you
absolutely nothing.
You need to put it on a partition on the "other" drive if you want a performance boost.
Additionally, it doesn't need it's own partition.
I have XP and Vista on separate drives. C:\ for XP, G:\ for Vista
The XP pagefile is on the root of the Vista drive. G:\
The Vista pagefile is on the root of the XP drive. C:\
