Four ways to speed up win XP boot up

A computer and its associated external devices, its hardware entity is fixed, at this time can operate only software program, this article from the hardware and software, software program security and have a certain risk, from simple and relatively complex several aspects on how to speed up the start of XP boot time, make a summary, So that novice rookie can simply and safely operate him.

The hardware factors affecting the starting speed

The main hardware that affects the startup speed of the computer is the motherboard and hard disk as well as memory, which is not related to the CPU.

Motherboard is a variety of computer accessories "base", in the boot to do a lot of work, such as self-test, search a variety of ports, various external devices. Therefore, reducing the self-test time, reducing the external equipment and improving the efficiency can improve the start-up speed. If the computer is connected to a scanner, USB hard disk and other peripherals, it may reduce the boot speed of the system. It is recommended that you connect when you need to use these peripherals, USB devices can be connected after startup.

The main factor determining motherboard performance is the motherboard chipset, and the primary factor determining the boot speed is the disk performance and driver performance of the motherboard chipset.

In addition to post, computer startup time is mainly used to read system files from the hard disk. The hard disk works by moving the head to read and write data on a high-speed rotating platter. The higher the disc speed, the more data will be read by the head in unit time, which is very advantageous to the system startup. In addition, seek time fast, cache large hard drive can also significantly improve the startup time.

Reduce the boot disk scan wait time, when the Windows log has an abnormal shutdown, panic caused by the reboot, the system will automatically run the disk scanner at startup. By default, you wait 10 seconds before each partition is scanned, and if each partition waits 10 seconds to begin scanning, plus the time it takes to scan itself, it can take a long time to complete the startup process. In this case, we can set the time to cancel the disk scan, or even disable the scan of a disk partition.

Start → run, enter "chkntfs/t:0", you can set the disk scan wait time to 0, if you want to ignore scanning a partition when the computer starts, such as C disk, you can enter the "CHKNTFS/XC:" command, if you want to restore the scan to C, you can use the "CHKNTFS/DC:" command, you can restore all chkntfs defaults In addition to the countdown to automatic file checking.

One hardware that has a significant impact on Windows XP is memory. Running Windows XP with 256MB of memory is smoother, and 512MB of RAM can make the system work well.

Second, through the desktop or Control Panel for the relevant settings (security)

1 Remove the gorgeous and bloated appearance

Remove the "wallpaper", "Screen saver", and delete the extra desktop icons. If you are win XP, you can also right-click My Computer, select Properties → advanced, click Settings on the performance item, and select Adjust for best performance.

2) Regular Maintenance system

If you install and remove too many games, too many applications, too many old materials in your system, your computer will run faster and slower, and the boot time is getting longer. Therefore, it is best to do a comprehensive maintenance on the computer every once in a while (generally 1-3 months). Click on "Start" → "program" → "Attachment" → "System Tools", with the disk Cleanup and defragmentation, the computer to do a comprehensive maintenance, pay attention to the disk fragmentation when the system is in the disk must be sorted, so as to really speed up the start of the order of Windows.
