disappearing swap file

Having a load of hard disks spare I decided to try the following:-

120G SATA for the operating system
35G SATA for the swap file
320G SATA for applications
plus a couple of PATA for storage
(Windows XP)
I thought that would be 'a good thing' for reliability and performance.

The PC started running a CHKDSK type check on the 35G on every start-up but
didn't report any errors. The PC is taking an age to start up and I
discovered I had no swap file. Simple workaround would be to move the
swapfile to one of the other hard disks which I did and got the prompt to
restart the PC but every time it restarts I'm back to no swapfile whichever
disk I choose to use.

The PC is full of software and I'd normally accept it is time for a format
and reinstall but I'd like to crack this problem. Any ideas?

Regards
