Increase Hard Disk speed in Windows

If you like to increase/optimize your Hard Disk read/write speed without buying expensive software utilities to do that job or changing the HD, just follow the following steps. With doing these steps you will increase Hard disk speed (depends of manufacture and specification, but its worth to try).

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 until 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.
