Soft and hard! Quickly shorten WinXP boot time

Users who have used windowsXP system know that there is no advanced sleep function in the system, hardware performance is not comparable to win7 system, so it is much more than win7 in boot time, in order to improve the startup speed of winXP system, shorten At boot time, users can perform deep optimizations in both hardware and software.

First, the parts of the setup and optimization settings

A. BIOS optimization settings for the motherboard

Turn off redundant IDE channels, USB devices and other hardware, and use "None" to block them. Automatically detect the hard disk with “IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION”. Do not perform memory detection, open each cache, enter "Advanced CMOS Setup", set "Quick Boot" to "Enable", you can not detect more than 1MB of memory. “IDE 0 Master/Slave PIO/DMA Mode, IDE 1 Master/Slave PIO/DMA Mode” The hard disk sequence (mode) is all set to “Auto”.

Go to the “Advanced BIOS Features” option and move the cursor to the “First Boot Device” option. Select “HDD-0”” to boot directly from the hard drive, so that it will start for a few seconds. Move the cursor to "Quick Power On Self Test" to set to “Enabled”. For "Boot UP Floppy Seek", set to "Disabled". For a memory quality good memory, it is recommended to set it to “2” in the “SDRAM CAS Latency” option.

B. Open the DMA transfer mode of the hard disk

Right click on the desktop “My Computer → Attribute → Hardware & Rarr; Device Manager & Rarr; IDE ATA /ATAPI Controller & Rarr; find the IDE channel &rarr where the hard disk is located; Attribute → advanced settings & rdquo;, open the hard disk DMA transfer mode to speed up data read and write speed. Win98 and WinME settings are basically the same, just check the DMA option.

Second, Windows system optimization

A. Remove redundant self-starting programs

This is a very effective way. Click “Start”→“Run”, enter “msconfig” in the dialog box that appears, and then click “OK", and the system configuration utility will be called up. Click on the “Start” tab to remove the “√” in front of the program that does not need to be automatically launched. Generally only need to leave ctfmon (input icon), systemtray (volume icon) and anti-virus program.

B. Modify IDE channel control (WinXP)

Right-click on my computer → attribute → hardware & rarr; device manager & rarr; expand & ldquo;IDE ATA /ATAP controller & rdquo;, double-click "minor IDE channel ”Options, in the pop-up dialog box, select the “Advanced Settings” tab, in the <quo;devices" & "device 1">>;device type>; the original “automatic detection&rdquo ; changed to “no",“OK” and exit. “ The main IDE channel & rdquo; modification method is the same. After the restart, the scrolling time of the scroll bar will be significantly reduced.

C. Remove the gorgeous and bloated appearance

Remove “wallpaper”, “screen saver”, remove redundant desktop icons. If it is WinXP, you can also right click on "My Computer", select "Properties & Rarr; Advanced", click on "Settings" in the "Performance" option, select "Adjust to Best Performance" & rdquo ;

The boot speed of Windows XP system is really inferior to that of Windows 7 system, but after a series of hardware and software optimization, you can obviously feel the startup speed of WinXP system is greatly improved, and the boot time is also shortened. A lot, indicating that the above optimization process still has some results.
