Under normal circumstances, Windows XP Professional does require 1.x GB's hard disk space, so that the mirror file backup using the GHOST program cannot be engraved into a CD-R disc that is 700MB. In fact, there are some huge data projects in Windows XP to account for hundreds of MB, and everyone can delete them, then use GHOST's highest proportional compression feature, you can completely put the information of Windows XP Professional with SP1A patch. CD. The following assumptions that the user is reinstalling the Windows XP operating system, and only the SP1A patch is installed to perform files.
First, delete useless projects for Windows XP
Windows XP stores some useless information, including system restore, sleep, and virtual memory, etc., users can save them as soon as follows the following methods to save space.
1. The system restore itself will be regularly backed up in the computer, and the user selects early position to restore its good state when there is a problem. Since this will cause a certain consumption on the hard disk space, the user can take this function first.
The method is to enter the "Start" → "Settings" → "Control Panel" → "System Restore", which will "turn the system on all drives" before the tick cancels.
2. Sleep function will put the data in the memory to the hard disk and shut down. When the computer is restored from the sleep state, you can immediately reply to the original operating state. And this feature itself will reserve hundreds of MB space (depending on the hard disk capacity), the user will turn it off before doing GHOST mirroring.
The method is to "Start" → "Settings" → "Control Panel" → "Power Options" → "Sleep", which hooks "Enable Sleep".
3. Finally, in terms of virtual memory, Windows XP requires double hard disk capacity for data exchange by default, which is the most tympan space, and the user will reduce the mirror file capacity to make it. When you restore, it is recommended that you will restart it to "System Management Size" to avoid decline in performance using virtual memory due to no virtual memory.
Method is to enter "Start" → "Control Panel" → "System" → "Advanced" → "Settings" → "Advanced" → "Virtual Memory" → "Change", then click "No Page File" → "Set" (Figure 3). Then restart the computer once, the PageFile.sys file inside the system will be automatically deleted.
4. In addition to the above items, users can also delete files in "c: / windows / driver caches", "c: / windows / pchealth / uploadlb," c: / windows / temp "folder, can also reduce numbers Ten MB hard disk space.
Second, using GHOST hidden super compression instructions
After deleting the main large capacity files in Windows XP by the aforementioned steps, the user has submissions hundreds of MB hard disk space. Now use the highest compression method of GHOST 8.2, you can successfully press the Windows XP image file into a 700MB capacity burning disc.
1. Use the Windows 98 boot disk to start the computer to enter the DOS mode, then enter the directory input of Ghost.exe Enter the following instructions:
Ghost -clone, Mode = PDUMP, SRC = 1: 1, DST = D: / Xpghost Gho -z9 -FX-Sure
The SRC = 1: 1 represents the mirroring of Windows XP, the first partition (usually C :) of the first hard disk. If you install the WIN98 / XP dual operating system (XP is changed to 1: 2 in the second partition; and DST = ... is the storage location of the mirror file, pay attention to this location cannot be partitioned in XP; -Z9 The representative is compressed with the maximum compression ratio (the proportion of options ranges from 1 to 9, 1) represents the lowest compression ratio but the speed is fast; 9 is the highest compression ratio but slower).
