I have alos meet the similar problem. My system is a 286AT, and the
harddisk is partitioned into 1M-bytes (driver C with system files) and
19M-bytes (driver D for applications, include MS-Window 2.03). No
matter how I install the windows, it keep on swapping in logic driver C
(and it is almost full before swapping). It often give "not enough
memory" message, even though there is more than 3M-bytes in logic
driver D and the MSDOS executive also claims so.
