Windows XP virtual Memory problem?

Hi... I am trying to assign an 8GB usb flash drive as my virtual memory on my XP machine.

I go to System>Advanced>Performance>Advanced>Virtual Memory

and i can see the flash drive in the top window, I select it, set a file size (I also tried not paging).

I press ok, Windows tells me I need to re-boot for changes to take effect, and when i re-boot.....

It has forgotten everything, and defaulted back to my C: drive.

I have tried this with 2 different flash drives, on 2 different XP machines, and neither remember the setting.

If you know why, or can offer any advice.. I would appreciate it.

Thank you
