Increase Hard Drive Speeds in Windows

Warning this could cause unwanted issues with your hardware as well as your Operating System. Do this only if you feel comfortable doing so. Do not blame me if your Hard Drives life is decreased in any way.

Make sure you have 512megabytes of ram before doing this.

-Start > Run > then type SYSEDIT.EXE
-Expand the system.ini file window.
-Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh]
-Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type
Irq14=4096

NOTE: The above info for the new line is CASE SENSITIVE
- Select File > Save
- Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer

Simple and works with Windows Xp – Vista.
