Abstract

The configuration (partition and format) of the hard drive, in a computer system running a Microsoft® operating system, has a major impact on the overall performance of the system. A poorly configured (partitioned and formatted) hard drive negatively impacts the performance of the entire system and can cost a performance loss of 15% or more! The Advanced Memory Optimization Installation Method for Microsoft® Operating Systems addresses this issue by properly configuring (partitioning and formatting) the hard drive, causing it to perform at a higher level. Systems installed using the Advanced Memory Optimization Installation Method for Microsoft® Operating Systems out perform systems with the default Microsoft® formatting and installation, on identical equipment.

Claims

1. (canceled)

3. The method of claim 1, including, before step (a), the steps of:

(a) The hard drive in any computer system, of any size and with. any hardware configuration, to which a Microsoft®

operating system will be installed.

(b) Any available method of partitioning and formatting a hard drive for use with a Microsoft®

operating system either named or unnamed.

(c) Any available method of installing a Microsoft®

operating system on an individual system or on multiple systems simultaneously either named or unnamed.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein step (a) includes the correct types of partitions created on the hard drive.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein step (a) includes the correct size of the partitions created on the hard drive.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein step (a) includes the correct number of partitions created on the hard drive.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein step (a) includes the correct file system format on the partitions created on the hard drive.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein step (b) includes any Microsoft®

operating system.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein step (b) includes changes to certain settings from the default Microsoft®

operating system settings.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein step (c) may be performed, before, during, or after the method of claim 1 step (b).

2. A method of configuring (partitioning and formatting) a hard drive, on a computer system, of any size. and with any hardware configuration, to which a Microsoft®

operating system is to be installed. The method comprising the steps of;

(a) Creating and formatting partitions of the appropriate number, type and size on the hard drive.

(b) Installing and configuring the Microsoft®

operating system.

(c) Configuring and formatting the remaining unused space on the hard drive.

11. The method of claim 2, wherein step (a) includes hard drives 10 GBs in size or greater, connected to the rest of the computer system by any means, to which a Microsoft operating system will be installed.

12. The method of claim 2, wherein step (c) is performed on individual systems or multiple systems simultaneously, either manually or automatically.
