VM settings on WHS?

I recently saw a site that recommended setting the sys disk (c) to 200 mb of vm and the data disk to 4000 mb. I let the system set mine. Am I wrong?

VM settings on WHS?

Hello,
using Windows Home Server in a Virtual machine is not a supported scenario, although it works.
Besides that your given sizes make no sense - because the minimum size for the system drive is 65 GByte (we are long over the MBytes in context of disk sizes). Even if you mixed up the units, a 4 TB data disk for a virtual machine is "somewhat difficult" to realize with only one data disk and 4 GByte make no sense again.
Best greetings from Germany

I was looking at VM as in Virtual memory, Sorry I should have been more clear this is NOT running in a Virtual Machine

Ahhh, I was thinking the same thing as Olaf. :)

Changing the amount of virtual memory on WHS is unsupported (since it requires server desktop access). Frankly, as long as you have enough RAM (I'd say at least 1 GB, although I prefer 2 GB) and you're only using WHS as it's designed, virtual memory isn't an issue anyway.
