You're welcome Donald. A swapdisc is a HDD that's used by the OS for swapfiles. It's rather like a scratch disk, but for the OS. The OS will try to manipulate data in main memory, because it's much faster than any other method. However, there's a limited amount of memory available for files, especially when programs are also being memory hungry, so the OS will create a temporary area on a HDD to use for data that won't fit within memory limits. This is the swapfile area and is usually dynamically created and used. When the OS has finished with it, the area is marked for re-use by anything that needs it. Better to have this area defined on as fast a HDD as possible, whilst also maintaining as large a 'chunk' as possible to ensure that swapfiles will fit within it. Swapfile limits can be set by the user, but read the manual first. :-)
