Increase Hard Disk speed in Windows


If you like to increase/optimize your Hard Disk I/O - read/write speed without buying expensive software utilities to do that job or changing the HD, just follow next steps. With doing these steps you will increase Hard disk speed (depends of manufacture and specification, but its worth to try). The most speed improvement is visible with IDE drives; however there are reports that this tweak also does good for SCSI disks.

In any case, it won't harm your system, so try it yourself and let me know what you find!

Steps:
  1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the start & then Run command.
  2. Expand the system.ini file window.
  3. Scroll down almost to the end of the file untill you find a line called [386enh].
  4. Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type
  5. Irq14=4096 (note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE)
  6. Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
  7. Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.
  8. Restart windows!
The speed improvement will be noticed just after the system reboots, any system info. software can be used to check the improvement.
