Control Master File Table Zone Reservation


Control Master File Table Zone Reservation
On  NTFS-enabled  XP  systems,  you  can  control  the  amount  of space allocated to the MFT. The MFT contains reference entries to all the files on the system. This can get fragmented over time and affect  system  performance.Use  this to  allocate  sufficient space for the MFT.
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem

Modify  NtfsMftZoneReservation  to  a  value  between  1  and  4. A value of 2 is good enough. However, in this day of humongous hard disks, a better bet would be to set it at 4.

To be completely effective, this setting should be specified at the time the volume is formatted.


Copy & paste the following code(in italic & red) in notapad


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
"NtfsMftZoneReservation"=dword:00000002



save it as
filename->ntfsmftzoneReservation.reg
filetype->all files.


Save it.
then just Double click on that!!!!!!
