Improving performance in PS 7 ?

I got this message when I installed PS 7……..
You currently have Adobe Photoshop’s primary Scratch and Windows’ primary paging file on the same volume, which can result in reduced performance. It is recommended that you set Adobe Photoshop’s primary Scratch volume to be on a different volume, preferably on a different drive.
Does anyone know how to do this but I only have one drive which is Local Disk C. ?
thanks
Marco.

Don’t worry about it.

A separate drive is preferable to avoid disk seek contention. A separate partition may provide some benefit because of reduced fragmentation. Neither of these is necessary, nor as important as having enough memory. —

You can partition your drive with certain software to do the trick. But I have to say I have had no big problems having the scratch on the primary drive. Just keep things clean and unfragmented. The message should go away after a few times.

Yes. Buy a new hard drive, install the new hard drive in your computer, and use it as Photoshop’s scratch disk.

And install it on the free channel on your motherboard otherwise it won’t make any difference.
