How to make hardware not affect XP system boot speed

Hardware in the process of computer boot will affect its boot speed, the impact of computer boot speed of the main hardware is the motherboard, hard disk and memory, compared to the CPU speed of the impact of the relationship is not big, and now we will see how to optimize it!

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/x C:" command; If you want to restore the scan to C disk, you can use "chkntfs/d C:" 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.
