Does this speed up the *computer* or the *harddrive*? (or both?)

I'd have to say the computer...though that isn't 100% correct. It'd be more acurate to say that it speeds up the communication between the harddrive and the computer.

i have SP2 SATA hard drive but i did not notice any changes ....
IS it me or ?

Oops. I said i'd post back with my finding in a day or two...and that was almost a month ago.

My apologies.

Anyways, I tried out this hack and at first it seemed to slightly improve the preformace of the harddisk. But it was so minute that I wanted to make sure it wasn't attributed to a psudo-effect. So I benchmarked it (both before and after) with SI Software's Sandra 2005 only to find out that the speeds were exactly the same. So that'd be a no for me...anyone else?

hmmm the tip you are giving is looking so good but i am afraid that i lose all my data from my harddisk ,because i have designed alot of websites,and made no backup on any disk because few days ago my cd burner stopped working,its giving me errors when it reaches 99%,i dont know what the damn problem is with it, i have seagate harddisk. will it work fine with it?

also explain that which type of improvements will it make after applying that command?

thanks

It didn't work on my computer. Neither the computer or hard drive sped up.

To speed up you boot time, download TuneXP.
Click on Ultra-Fast Boot and it will rearrange your Boot Files so it boots a few seconds faster. That worked for me.

When what reaches 99%? When it checks the ram (when you first boot up), or something else?

As far as the tweak on this thread goes, it shouldn't do any damage to your drive...it just might not show any improvement.

This is pretty funny reading all this stuff but i dont think it will speed up your hard disk. My computer guy taught this and it works on Any computer with any OS
1. Put all your files on a big external drive
2. Delete all the files on your computer
3. Copy all the files back
That is real easy but dont worry about system files or anything, all application and documents take up most of your hard disk so just do those and you dont even need to reboot it. Another way you can do this on Mac OS X is to reboot with a firewire cable to another computer in and hold down Apple button and you can see your computer as an external HD

The best is that you make a backup of your data files.

Reinstall windows XP.
Install only the programms that you use, the rest not.
Don't forget an antivirus program and a firewall.

Copy the data back on your hard drive on a sepparate partition.
Place the swap file also on a sepparate partition with a fixed size.

Make an image with (ghost or acronis , ... ) of both parttions.
Now should your computer work faster, because there a less programms on it so it uses less memory.
The files are not fragmented any more, your registry is smaller then before, ...

The only problem you have is that a few months after you have the same problems as you have now.

For speeding up your hard disk the only solution is use a RAID configuration.
But it costs a bit more.

I have actually purchased several cooling systems just to tune up my pc. God if you just knew how fast it is you would wanna kill yourself. One thing thats hugely important when u tune up your pc is to clean it before you play with it. Dust might seem harmless - but if you dont remove it and let ur computer get heated it might end up with a fire.

Also this is nothing for newbs. Only experianced users should take advantage of this - to be on the safe side so to say.
