Takeaway:
After installing Windows XP SP2, you'll notice a set of folders inside of the Windows folder called ServicePackFiles/i386 in which the OS keeps copies of all the main OS files replaced by SP2. Check out how you can reduce the disk space this folder occupies from 530MB to 200MB.
概述
安裝Windows XP SP2後,你將注意到Windows檔案夾裡的一個名為ServicePackFiles/i386的檔案夾集,作業系統在裡面儲存了所有被SP2替換了主要的作業系統檔案拷貝。你能將這個檔案夾的空間佔用從530MB減少到200MB。
When you install SP2 on a Windows XP system, the installation procedure actually creates a set of folders inside of the Windows folder called ServicePackFiles/i386 in which the operating system keeps copies of all the main operating system files replaced by SP2. This folder is then used by Windows File Protection in the event that a crucial system file needs to be replaced. In addition, the operating system uses the ServicePackFiles/i386 folder to store those files that are needed to install optional Windows components that aren't installed by default. The ServicePackFiles/i386 folder occupies around 530MB of disk space.
當你在Windows XP系統上安裝SP2,安裝過程其實在Windows檔案夾裡建立了一個名為ServicePackFiles/i386的檔案夾集,作業系統在裡面儲存了所有被SP2替換了主要的作業系統檔案拷貝。這個檔案夾在關鍵系統檔案需要被替換時用於Windows檔案保護。另外,作業系統使用ServicePackFiles/i386檔案夾來存放非預設安裝的、可選擇的Windows組件的檔案。ServicePackFiles/i386檔案夾佔用了大約530MB磁碟空間。
You can regain some of the disk space if your hard disk is formatted with the NTFS file system by compressing the ServicePackFiles/i386 folder with NTFS compression. In fact, you can expect to regain about 200MB of disk space. To do so, follow these steps:
如果你的硬碟是用NTFS檔案系統格式化的,你可以使用NTFS 壓縮功能壓縮ServicePackFiles/i386檔案夾來獲得一些磁碟空間。操作步驟如下:
- Right-click the ServicePackFiles folder and select the Properties command.
右擊ServicePackFiles檔案夾,選擇屬性命令
- In the Attributes section of the General tab, click the Advanced button.
在“常規”選項卡的屬性段,點擊“進階”按鈕
- In the Advanced Attributes dialog box, select the Compress Contents To Save Disk Space check box and click OK.
在“進階屬性”對話方塊,選定“壓縮內容以便節省磁碟空間”框,點擊“確認”按鈕。
- When you return to the Properties dialog box, click OK.
當你回到“屬性”對話方塊,點擊“確認”按鈕。
- When you see the Confirm Attribute Changes dialog box, select the Apply Changes To This Folder, Subfolders And Files option button and click OK.
當你看到確認屬性改變對話方塊,選擇“應用改變到這個檔案夾,字檔案夾和檔案”選項按鈕,點擊“確認”按鈕。
(Note: It will take a few minutes for Windows XP to compress the folder.)
(注意:Windows XP壓縮檔夾需要一定的時間。)
Once the folder is compressed, it will take up less space, yet it will still be accessible for Windows File Protection operations and the installation of optional components.
一旦檔案夾壓被壓縮了,它將少佔用空間,然而它仍然可以被Windows檔案保護操作和可選組件安裝程式訪問。
