Skills for Using Disk Scan in Win XP [Let XP Serve You]
When using Windows XP, many people ask: "Why is that disk scanning program gone?" This is because Microsoft has placed the disk scanning operation of Windows XP at the start-up of the operating system. When the Windows log records an abnormal shutdown or a restart caused by a system crash, it will automatically run the disk scanning program at start-up.
When using Windows XP, many people ask: "Why is that disk scanning program gone?" This is because Microsoft has placed the disk scanning operation of Windows XP at the start-up of the operating system. When the Windows log records an abnormal shutdown or a restart caused by a system crash, it will automatically run the disk scanning program at start-up. By default, there is a 10-second wait before scanning each partition, and the user can press any key to skip the scan and continue booting at this time. But if each partition has to wait 10 seconds before starting the scan, and plus the time the scan itself takes, it is quite annoying. In fact, if we want to set a certain partition to automatically perform disk scanning immediately at start-up, we can use the chkntfs command. The command format is as follows:
chkntfs/d c:
Among them, /d is a parameter, which means to restore all default settings of chkntfs, except the countdown for automatic file check.
The /t [[:]timefield] parameter can change the countdown time for the start of the scan to the specified time value (in seconds) by entering. If no time is specified, the /t parameter will display the current countdown time. For example, you can use the chkntfs/t:0 command to set the interval to 0 seconds, that is, perform disk scanning immediately at start-up.
The /x volume parameter can make the computer not check the specified volume at start-up, even if the volume is marked as needing detection. For example, if you want to ignore scanning the C partition at computer start-up, you can enter: chkntfs/x c:
Tips
When using chkntfs, the following three points should also be noted: First, if the user wants to run chkntfs under Windows 2000/XP, he must log in as an administrator; second, the /x parameter cannot be used cumulatively. If the option is typed multiple times, the most recently typed item will replace the previously typed item. Therefore, if we want to ignore multiple partitions, we can use "chkntfs /x efgh"; third, users should not be frightened by the ntfs word in the command, in fact, it is also universal for the FAT format.
Windows XP Memory Optimization Guide [Let XP Serve You]
Although Windows XP is an excellent operating system, its requirement for memory is astonishing. Even with 128MB of memory, there will be problems such as insufficient system memory leading to slow speed. Why does Windows XP have such a large requirement for memory? It turns out that many new functions have been added in Windows XP, and these functions are large consumers of memory. As long as we turn off these infrequently used functions, 128MB of memory will be more than enough for us. The following is an optimization of memory for these infrequently used functions. It is believed that after such optimization, your XP will bring you a brand-new experience like a Mercedes-Benz.
First, we need to start with the "Automatic Update" function of XP. The "Automatic Update" is a new function launched by Windows XP to facilitate users to upgrade the system. This function can automatically remind users to upgrade their systems when Microsoft launches system upgrade patches or system security patches. However, this function has a requirement that users must always be online. But for us "poor people" who are short of money, this requirement is too harsh. So we turn off the "Automatic Update" function and change it to "Manual Update".
The specific operation is: Right-click "My Computer", click Properties, click "Automatic Update", and in the "Notification Settings" column, select "Turn off automatic updating. I will update my computer manually".
The second step, we need to start with the "System Restore" function which is like chicken ribs. The system restore function is a very imaginative innovation by Microsoft, but Microsoft has not been able to implement this innovation well, so the made system restore function is just a chicken rib that is tasteless to eat and a pity to discard. It is not of much use to users, so we decide to turn it off to save memory.
The specific operation is: Right-click "My Computer", click Properties, the system properties dialog box will pop up, click "System Restore", and check the "Turn off system restore on all drives" option.
The third step, turn off the "Remote Desktop" function. One feature of this function is that others can access your desktop on another machine. In a local area network, this function is very useful. For example, if you have a problem, you can ask your colleague for help, and he can directly access your machine through "Remote Desktop" to help you solve the problem without coming to you. But for ordinary users who only have one computer, this function is redundant, so we turn it off to prevent it from wasting memory in vain.
The fourth step, turn off the "Automatic Error Sending" function. Everyone must have had such an experience in Window XP. Once a program terminates abnormally, the system will automatically pop up a dialog box asking you whether to send the error to Microsoft. This is the "Automatic Error Sending" function in XP. But what is the use of such a function? Except for wasting phone bills, it is of no use to us. So we should resolutely turn off this function. Right-click "My Computer", click Properties, click "Advanced" → "Error Reporting", and select the "Disable error reporting" function.
The fifth step, turn off the unnecessary effects in "Visual Effects". The operation interface of Windows XP is indeed very beautiful, but behind the beauty is the cost of consuming a large amount of memory. Compared with speed and beauty, we would rather choose the former. Right-click "My Computer", click Properties, click "Advanced", in the "Performance" column, click "Settings", click "Visual Effects", and turn off all special appearance settings here, and we can save "a large amount" of memory.
The sixth step, turn off the "Internet Time Synchronization" function. "Internet Time Synchronization" means that your computer clock is synchronized with the Internet time server once a week, so that your system time will be accurate. However, this function is of little use to us and may cause system crashes. So we need to turn it off.
The specific operation is: Click "Start" → "Control Panel" → "Date, Time, Language and Regional Options" in turn, then click "Date and Time" → "Internet Time".
The seventh step, turn off redundant services. Windows XP, like Windows 2000, can be used as an http server, mail server, ftp server, etc. So whenever Windows XP starts, many services start with it. Many services are completely useless to us ordinary users, so turning them off is a good choice.
Win XP Startup Fault Diagnosis [Let XP Serve You]
[Win XP has been optimized as a whole, so the startup speed is not only much faster than Win2000, but also much faster than Win9x. However, many users find that Win XP cannot boot after upgrading or installing other drivers. How to solve such problems?
Fault 1: A friend's computer has Win98 and Windows XP installed. After using it for a period of time, he reinstalls Win98, causing Windows XP to be unable to start.
Fault Analysis: The newly installed Win98 overwrites the XP startup file in the root directory of the system startup partition, causing XP to be unable to start.
Solution to the Fault: Knowing the reason, this fault will be solved easily. The key to solving the problem is to reinstall the OS_Loader of XP (Tip: The boot program of WinNT/2000 and WinXP). Insert the XP installation disk into the CD-ROM drive, then enter the XP installation program, and immediately stop after it copies the installation program to your disk, then go back to the root directory of the system startup partition, edit the Boot.ini file, and delete all "$" in it. Here, everyone is reminded to pay attention to mastering the installation properly, because we are only installing the boot program of XP, not reinstalling XP! What, can't find the Boot.ini file! Well, then I will introduce the method to find the OS_Loader startup file:
First, confirm and find the system startup partition, and enter its root directory. Then, open the "Tools" menu in the menu bar, select "Folder Options", in the "Folder Options" window, select the "View" tab, and then remove the check mark in front of "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)". At this time, a warning dialog box will pop up, just ignore it and select "OK". Also, set "Hide files and folders" to "Show all files and folders", select "Confirm", then go back to the system disk directory. At this time, you will find that many system and hidden files will appear in this directory, and you can find the three important startup files Boot.ini, ntldr.nt, detect.com (Note: After editing the Boot.ini file, be sure to change the above changes back).
Prevention of the Fault: In fact, such a fault can not happen. As long as when reinstalling Win98, use the Win98 startup disk to start, then the option "Win98 Installation" will appear on the startup screen, select it, and you can install with confidence!
Fault 2: A friend's computer originally had a dual-boot of Win98 and XP. Later, he felt that Win98 was not stable enough and upgraded it to Win2000, causing Windows XP to be unable to start.
Fault Analysis: Upgrading Win98 to Win2000, Win2000 rewrites the three important startup files ntldr, ntdetect.com, boot.ini. Win2000 cannot boot XP, causing XP to be unable to start.
Solution to the Fault: The key to solving this fault is to use Win XP to boot Win2000 (Note: Win2000 cannot boot XP, but XP can boot Win2000!). That is, use the ntldr, ntdetect.com files of XP to start the system, and let XP boot Win2000. The method to solve the fault: First, start Win98, then extract the ntldr, ntdetect.com files from the I386 directory of the XP installation CD-ROM, copy these two files to the root directory of the system startup partition and set them to read-only and hidden attributes. In this way, your XP can be started! If you usually mainly use XP to work and want to change the default startup option back to XP, just use Notepad to edit the Boot.ini file, copy the startup entry of XP in this file to after "default=", for example, bootloader timeout=7 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\Windows=“MicrosoftWindowsXP”/fastdetect operatingsystems multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows=“MicrosoftWindows2000Profeessional”/fastdetectmulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\Windows=“MicrosoftWindowsXP”/fastdetect Finally, set it to read-only and hidden attributes and save it to the root directory of the system startup partition!
Another method is: Copy these three files from another machine that can start normally and has the same version of XP installed, and then edit the boot.ini file according to the above method as needed (XP is the default option)!
Prevention of the Fault: Just back up those three startup files before upgrading, then install Win2000 from the Win98 startup disk, and after the installation is complete, restore those backup files to the root directory of the system startup partition to avoid the above troubles!
Fault 3: After a friend's system updates an XP driver program, XP cannot start.
Fault Analysis: Obviously, the newly installed driver program has problems, causing XP to be unable to start!
Solution to the Fault: The key to solving this fault is to use a stable and reliable driver program to replace the current driver. If you encounter such a problem under Win98, you may first think of entering safe mode, and then delete or replace the current driver from safe mode. But where is the safe mode of XP? The safe mode of XP is not like that of Win98 which can be调出 by holding down Ctrl during startup. Then, where is the safe mode of XP hidden? In fact, it is very simple to find it. When you start XP and the startup progress bar appears, press the F8 key, and you can调出 the startup menu of XP, and select safe mode from it. Once you enter the safe mode of XP, the problem is simple. The fastest and simplest method is to use the system restore of Windows XP to restore the system to the previous normal state. Of course, you can also use the old method of excluding such problems under Win98. I believe everyone can handle it, and I won't elaborate here!
Prevention of the Fault: Since the XP startup fault caused by using an unstable XP driver is relatively common, it is recommended that when selecting XP driver programs, don't be too fashionable. It is best not to select the latest driver programs, unless you are willing to help with testing!
Finally, remind everyone that when encountering such faults, don't panic. Be sure to be calm, carefully analyze the fault cause, find the method to solve the fault, and wish everyone can use Windows XP well and fully experience the fun of digital life!
