chaox Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 anyone know how to "enable advanced performance" via registry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-Shadow-x Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 You will have to export it manually cause I dont know what hard drive you have.Open regedit (start menu> run> type in "regedit" (without quotes) and go to "HKLM>System>Controllset003>ENUM>IDE>"your harddrive">"5&XxXxXxXxXxXxX" (numbers/letters)>Device Parameters". Right click on "Disk" and go "export", save it to the desktop. Rite click it and go "edit". You will see something like this.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Enum\IDE\"your hard drive"\"5&XxXxXxXxXxXxX"\Device Parameters\Disk]"CacheIsPowerProtected"=dword:00000000"UserWriteCacheSetting"=dword:00000001It says ""CacheIsPowerProtected"=dword:00000000", change the last "0" to a "1". It will look like this.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Enum\IDE\"your hard drive"\"5&XxXxXxXxXxXxX"\Device Parameters\Disk]"CacheIsPowerProtected"=dword:00000001"UserWriteCacheSetting"=dword:00000001Go to file>"save" and your done.
