In the era of the Internet of viruses, the little
Ghost
has helped a lot! -- 3 minutes clone, 3 minutes recovery, instant system restore as ever!
However, people are always in the pursuit of easier application, so everywhere inside and outside the network on Ghost
minimize the experience of cloning techniques. Unfortunately, the minimal clone of the current popular operating system Windows XP, misleading operations abound, to rumor! One
misleading: delete the page file Hiberfil C under the root directory. Sys
One way is to teach readers to open "Control Panel → Power Options → Hibernate" step by step, uncheck "Enable Power"; another approach is more powerful - in DOS
6.22 found the Deltree.exe command file, copied to the system root directory, and then boot the computer to pure DOS
in various ways, execute the Deltree Hiberfil.sys command to delete it - because Hiberfil.sys cannot be deleted under Windows!
Misleading 2: Move virtual memory or delete Pagefile. The sys file
also has two misleading methods: one is to move the virtual memory to other partitions; the other is the same as above, boot to pure DOS
to delete through Deltree.
In fact, more than two documents despite the large (by default, Hiberfil.sys typically 255MB, Pagefile.sys normally 384MB), but when were cloned using Ghost
software < U>Ghost
didn't copy them into the .gho file--I have used the Ghost
6.0/7.0/8.0 and other versions to repeatedly compare and clone multiple times, regardless of the system disk. With or without these two files, the final result of the clone is about 433351KB (423MB); at the same time, the .gho file is opened with the ghost detector (Ghost
EXP.exe), and there is no Hiberfil.sys and Pagefile. .sys figure! That being the case, why bother to do so!
So, to clone the system disk to minimize the desirable measures, what does?
1. By Sfc.exe /purgecache clear the file cache, which is the most effective trick can be reduced by about 370MB system;
2. Through the system disk to search, find All .cab, .zip archives, remove or delete (can reduce about 85MB);
3. Through Cleannmgr (the disk cleaning tool in the attachment) and the temporary files for .tmp, $ Search for other temporary files;
4. For help files, font files, desktop wallpaper files, etc., you can remove or delete them;
5. For the system self-assertion for your installed components such as MSN, OE, accessories in the game and so on, through the "Add /Remove programs" to uninstall it;
6. very important habit: all programs are installed in another partition to reduce the size of the system partition; and backup records for system restore under
7. delete the system root directory - for XP system, even if the system just installed, may also be in the system Volume Information There are dozens or even hundreds of MB backup files in the directory ( Click "Tools → Folder Options → View", uncheck "Hide Protected Operating System Files" to see). This step is usually done at the end and before the clone, so that it can be completely emptied, because as long as your system restore function is not closed, all the changes you have made under the supervision will be recorded in C: System Volume Information! Of course, deleted them, all the changes made before this can not be restored!
