JSI Tip 4265. How can I delete Pagefile.sys in the Recovery Console?

When you boot the Recovery Console, you can't find Pagefile.sys?

This is because Microsoft does not make Pagefile.sys available in the Recovery Console.

To workaround this behavior:

1. Type CD \ and press Enter.

2. Type copy c:\boot.ini pagefile.sys and press Enter.

3. Type del pagefile.sys and press Enter.

NOTE: See tip 2615 » The SET command in the Windows 2000 Recovery Console.
