First of all, this tweak only apply to those who only have
one HDD on their primary IDE channel (nothing else on
device 0 or 1) and a CD-ROM and/or
DVD-ROM on the secondary IDE channel.
Each time you boot Windows XP, there's an updated file called NTOSBOOT-*.pf who appears in your prefetch
directory (%SystemRoot%Prefetch) and
there's no need to erease any other files as the new prefetch option in XP
really improves loading time of installed programs. We only want WindowsXP to
boot faster and not decrease its performance. Thanks to Rod Cahoon (for the prefetch automation process...with a
minor change of mine) and Zeb for the IDE
Channel tweak as those two tricks, coupled together with a little
modification, result in an EXTREMELY fast bootup:
1. Open notepad.exe,
type "del c:windowsprefetch
tosboot-*.* /q" (without the quotes) & save as "ntosboot.bat" in c:
2. From the Start
menu, select "Run..." &
type "gpedit.msc".
3. Double click "Windows
Settings" under "Computer
Configuration" and double click again on "Shutdown" in the right window.
4. In the new window, click "add", "Browse",
locate your "ntosboot.bat"
file & click "Open".
5. Click "OK",
"Apply" & "OK"
once again to exit.
6. From the Start
menu, select "Run..."
& type "devmgmt.msc".
7. Double click on "IDE
ATA/ATAPI controllers"
8. Right click on "Primary
IDE Channel" and select "Properties".
9. Select the "Advanced
Settings" tab then on the device
0 or 1 that doesn't have 'device type' greyed out select 'none' instead of 'autodetect' & click "OK".
10. Right click on "Secondary
IDE channel", select "Properties"
and repeat step 9.
11. Reboot your
computer.
WindowsXP should now boot REALLY faster.
