Dave said:good job but wouldnt be suited to my needs:
8.3 file description is used by norton and a few of my other programs. it would probably mess a lot of things up.
i need system restore cos i tend to fuck up pretty badly sometimes
if media player core gets rid of mediaplayer classic then i would never remove that. it is microsofts best app by far lmao. i use it over wmp10 any day.
16 bit compatibilty is needed for one of my games (sonic)
and when ya get blanks u owe me an office cd
1. Ditch norton and use NOD32 - Now no need for 8.3
2. Take a backup of your newly installed rig using PQDI - Now no need for Sys Restore
3. Install Winamp or other superiour media player - Now no need for WMP
4. Stop playing old games, or get them on a 32bit emulator such as mame - Now no need for 16 bit compat.
S.O.R.T.E.D
1. tried NOD32 and it crashed my whole system and i couldnt log in.
2. need to use sys restore to recover ferom nod32 error.
3. already have itunes but use wmp cos ive never known difference. might get winamp though.
4. sonic is not old and will live forever.
das ist nicht SORTED

Otherwise, i can do all these hacks on XP for ya if u want.
You couldn't do that on XP Pro could ya XMS?
I would really fancy installing it onto a SATA drive to take a look and then run as my OS!
Would my CA Trust EZ friewall still work on it?

Hi kempez815 
If you have a NTFS formatted disk volume with many files with long names, you can improve your machine's performance by turning 8.3 file names generation off.
To be backward compatible with MS-DOS and Windows 3.x applications that use short file names (which are limited to 11 characters or 8.3 short file names) Windows NT has to generate short file names out of long file names. If you're using NTFS volumes, it does this short name generation every time you save and perform other file operations such as retrieving the directory. All of this could contribute to performance losses if you have more than a few hundred long file names in a directory. So, here's how to turn off this short file name generation:
* Run the "Registry Editor" (RegEdt32.exe)
* Select
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem"
* Double click on "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation"
* Change 0 to 1
* Restart Windows
NOTE: Use this option with care! If you still use 16 bit applications, they may not be able to find certain files.

I'd rep you if I could!
Turn that into a guide PV where more people can see it... It probably won't get much love sitting in this thread
Whoa. FFffafaaaaassstttt. It's gonna take me forever. This Promise FasTrak SATA/IDE Controller (MEGA FAST w00t!) Has its own bios, so that has to boot and search for hdd's too, plus realtek's giga-bit lan has to search for boot devies to, cos this mobo can boot from a network hdd. (Neat-o, eh?)
So, it will take me 45+ Seconds, most likely.

Jees - that's fast XMS. Nice one.
Anyway my 29 seconds does me. It only take like 5seconds to load after that so its all good. After I've OC'd my CPU it'll be a bit quicker too.
