This doesn't add up.  The E: drive is not "STACKER'd" and it's empty.
So there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to put a permanent swap
file on drvie E:.  Windows requires the space for the permanent swap
file to be contiguous.  I would expect E: to be that way, since it's 
empty, but one could do a "format E:" on it to make sure.
