Smartdrv.exe is a disk cache utility.
This program can be loaded to set the memory to the high-speed cache of the hard disk
This program is usually available in the installation folder of Windows 98.
After running winnt in DOS 2000 or XP, you will see a copy file interface. At this time, the installer is copying the files in i386 to the Temporary Folder on disk C ($ winnt_nt $. ~ BT $ winnt_nt $ .~ And create some boot files and configuration files. The difference in installation speed is actually in the process of copying files. If smartdrv.exe is not used, the disk read/write speed will be slow due to the low speed cache of the hard disk. If smartdrv.exe is used, the high-speed cache of the hard disk will increase by dozens of times, so the read/write speed will be much faster, the speed of copying files will naturally be faster, and the time for installing the system will be greatly reduced.
Smartdrv.exe usage (himem. sys should be loaded in config. sys ).
Smartdrv/X executes and resident memory, opens the disk acceleration cache area, and shields all drive caches. This is a common method (generally, this command is enough)
