Boost your disk performance in Vista

Here's a quick tip for Windows Vista on how you can boost your hard disk drive performance. It is not enabled by default because there's a risk of loosing your data if the disk loses power.

Simply follow the steps below on how to boost your disk drive performance.

1. Go to Start, Control Panel -> Device Manager.

2. Expand Disk Drives.

3. Right-click on your hard disk drive and select Properties.



4. On the Policies tab, check Enable Advanced Performance.



5. Click OK and close Device Manager.

This option only available in Windows Vista. There is no such option in Windows XP
