First of all, this tweak only apply to those who only have one Kiintolevy on their primary IDE channel (nothing else on device 0 or 1) and a CD-ROM and/or DVD-ROM on the secondary IDE channel. Each time you boot Windows XP, there’s an updated file called NTOSBOOT-*.pf who appears in your prefetch directory (SystemRoot%Prefetch) and there’s no need to erease any other files as the new prefetch option in XP really improves loading time of installed programs.
Follow the following steps:
1. Open notepad.exe, type “del c:windowsprefetch tosboot-*.* /q” (without the quotes) & save as “ntosboot.bat” sisä- C:
2. From the Alkaa menu, select “Run...” & type “Gpedit.msc“.
3. Double click “Windows -asetukset” under “Tietokoneen kokoonpano” and double click again on “Sammutus” in the right window.
4. In the new window, click “add“- “Browse“, locate your “ntosboot.bat” file and click “Avata“.
5. Napsauta “Hyvä“- “Soveltaa” ja “Hyvä” once again to exit.
6. From the Alkaa menu, select “Run...” and type “devmgmt.msc“.
7. Double click on “IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers“
8. Right click on “Primary IDE Channel” and select “Ominaisuudet“.
9. Select the “Lisäasetukset” tab then on the device 0 or 1 that doesn’t have ‘device type’ greyed out select ‘none’ instead of ‘autodetect‘ & napsauttaa “Hyvä“.
10. Right click on “Secondary IDE channel“, select “Ominaisuudet” and repeat step 9.
11. Reboot your computer.
