Upgrading to Windows XP I’ve been flooded with calls recently about upgrading to Windows XP. I’m not sure why there is this sudden interest in upgrading to XP, but there are issues and concerns which need to be addressed before a final decision is made. Not doing your homework can turn an upgrade into your worst nightmare. Before I go any further, I’m going to set out my opinion regarding upgrading an earlier operating system to Windows XP. Don’t do it. My personal experience has shown that very seldom, if ever, do you realize the full potential of a new operating system when it’s installed as an upgrade. The most meticulous of users can’t guard against all the stray files, drivers, and registry entries that creep into a system through normal use. I see no sense in starting out at a disadvantage. Far too often I’ve heard an operating system badmouthed as being an unstable nightmare when the fault is with the upgrade process. Of course, it’s not always possible to do a clean install after wiping the disks, but if it’s feasible, the rewards are well worth the extra time and effort. My grandfather, a carpenter, always said it doesn’t matter what you build above ground level if the foundation is shaky. Good advice and as relevant to computer technology as it was to his 2x4’s. So, you’ve decided you aren’t willing to invest all that time in restoring applications, data, network, and e-mail resources. What can you do to minimize the problems associated with an upgrade? Preparation is the best chance you have when upgrading. Here are a few questions you should be asking before you insert that Windows XP CD. Question: Can the current operating system be upgraded to Windows XP? Answer: Just because you have Windows already installed it doesn’t mean you have a clear upgrade path to XP. If you’re still on Win95 or anything earlier, stop reading now. There is no upgrade path to XP. For Win 98, 98SE, and Me users, you can upgrade to either XP Home or Professional versions. Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and XP Home users can upgrade to XP Professional but not to XP Home. Upgrades from NT 3.51, any server or any beta version are not supported. I can’t think of a single good reason for XP Home to exist other than to transfer a few dollars from upgrade/don’t upgrade fence straddlers into Microsoft’s coffers. Question: Do I have hardware that will work with Windows XP? Answer: Face the facts. If you’re running the minimum 233-MHz Intel or AMD compatible processor, 64-MB RAM, 1.5 GB of free disk space, Super VGA (800x600) video adapter and monitor, and Microsoft-compatible keyboard and pointing device, you aren’t going to be happy with Windows XP. Nor will you be able to enjoy all the features that XP offers. It would be like driving a Ferrari with a Ford Pinto motor. Even if you do meet the XP minimum requirements that’s just the beginning. All the parts and pieces need to be checked against the Hardware Compatibility List. Unless you are prepared to replace anything not on the list, it pays to know in advance what components will not be compatible and likely cause problems. If you don’t have a copy of Windows XP, borrow the CD from a friend and pop it into your CD drive. Close the screen if auto run launches and open Run from the Start Menu. Type in D:\winnt32.exe /checkupgradeonly, substituting the drive letter of your CD-ROM for D if it’s different. This will launch the Microsoft Windows Upgrade Advisor that will identify any hardware and software upgrade incompatibilities. Save or print the results after the advisor finishes. Microsoft has made available on their website some excellent documentation regarding upgrading to Windows XP. I strongly suggest it be read before a final decision is made. A number of other articles are linked from the one below, including a download location for the Microsoft Windows Upgrade Advisor. Even though it's a 35MB download, if you don't have access to a Windows XP CD it is well worth the time to download a copy before making your final upgrade decision. Description of the Windows XP Upgrade Advisor (Q307726) Question: Do I have software that will work with Windows XP? Answer: Equally as important as the hardware issues are the ones relating to software and Windows XP. Read the previous section about the Microsoft Windows Upgrade Advisor. It provides a listing of software issues as well as hardware. I know it isn’t what you want to hear, but if your software is going to be rendered unusable it makes no sense to upgrade the operating system. Question: The hardware is acceptable, I can live without the questionable applications, and I still want to upgrade. What now? Answer: Think about it for another day or two. Question: I thought about it and I still want to upgrade. What now? Answer: Review the list of applications that appeared on your Upgrade Advisor list. Uninstall each and every one of them using their uninstall routines. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that if you leave one little program XP won’t notice and run fine. At the same time, review all the compatible programs and if they are unused or you really don’t need them any longer, get rid of them also. Now is also the time to get rid of old files, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and anything else that tends to mount up over time and never be referenced. Less is better when you are upgrading. Reboot the machine to allow any uninstall routines to complete fully. Once the purging has been completed, run Disk Defragmenter on the drive where XP will be installed. There will be quite a bit of non-contiguous space if you removed a lot of files and programs. Disk Defragmenter should be a part of your regular routine, but it’s especially important when upgrading to prepare the drive for the new operating system. Back up all your data. Hopefully, you have some type of organizational system so your data files are all in one place. If not, go through every program and ferret out the data that’s essential you keep. Whatever method you use for data backup, the most important aspect of backing up is to verify the integrity of the backup. The time to check it is not when you need the backup, but when you don’t. Make a fresh copy of your current operating system boot disk or Emergency Repair Disk. Hopefully you won’t need them, but a current copy is preferable to one that is outdated, and having none at all should never be an option. Question: This is a lot more trouble than I thought it was going to be. When do I upgrade? Answer: Patience. We’re almost ready. Two more things and then it’s time to upgrade. Do you know where all the original installation CD’s are for your current system? That includes the operating system, applications, and any other CD or diskette that you used to bring your system to its current state. If not, locate them now and have them ready just in case something goes wrong – terribly, terribly wrong. Finally, close all running applications. Check the notification area (by the clock, on the taskbar) to make sure nothing remains open, especially any anti-virus applications. They are notorious for causing problems with an upgrade. Microsoft Messenger, printer utilities, and firewall applications are others to make sure you have closed. Once you are satisfied everything is ready, think about it one more time and if you’re sure, insert the Windows XP CD and close the tray. If AutoRun is enabled, the Setup Wizard will launch and you are on your way. If AutoRun is disabled, navigate to the i386 directory on the Windows XP CD and click setup.exe. That’s it. Follow the prompts and hope for the best. The steps above, carefully and thoroughly performed, will ensure you the best possible chance for a successful upgrade of your current operating system.

O&O Defrag I recently tried a new defragmenting software I am writing about some of its features here .I like it because its interface is neat, it does the job in more efficient manner than Microsoft?s own defragger does You can download it forum https://www.oo-software.com/en/ Fragmentation: Causes and Effects Fragmentation results from saving your files on your hard drive. When files are saved, Windows automatically looks for free space and saves the file accordingly. Sometimes, however, there is not enough contiguous free space on the storage volume to save the file into a single block. This happens whenever files are created, modified, or deleted. When you delete a file, the space occupied by this file is marked as free, opening up this space for new files to be saved. If a new file does not exactly fit into this spot, Windows splits the file up into fragments and stores them in different locations on the storage volume. When you open the file, Windows first has to find all the fragments, load them, and then put them back together. This process can be very time consuming, especially if you create or get rid of files often. Regular Defragmentation is the Only Solution File and database servers, as well as workstations can substantially improve their system performance using O&O Defrag V8. Regular defragmentation prevents new hard disk fragmentation and will ease the use of Windows XP/2003, Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4 in the long term. O&O defrag has many modes each of one is shortly explained below STEALTH The STEALTH method is based on our unique STEALTH technology; allowing an unprecedented level of defragmentation on computers with a large number of files, little free space or available central memory. SPACE This maximizes contiguous free space. This method is very quick and efficient and it does reorganize your volume, but not as thoroughly as the COMPLETE methods. Further defragmentation will not be affected by the SPACE method. The SPACE method is ideal for the first defragmentation run on a system that has never been defragmented, as it requires far less free space than the COMPLETE methods. COMPLETE/ACCESS Files are sorted according to when they were last accessed. The files that have been accessed the least will be placed at the beginning of the partition, and those that are accessed that most frequently are put near the end. Seldom-used files are defragmented and will not need to be moved in future. Frequently-used files are placed at the end of the volumes. This strategy means that future defragmentation runs are as quick as possible, as fewer files need to be checked and defragmented. COMPLETE/Modified Files are sorted according to the date on which they were last changed. The files which have not been changed recently are placed at the beginning of the partition, and the files that have been changed recently are placed at the end. This option is a good one for file or database servers which contain files that have never been changed (e.g. system files), but where others are frequently modified. (e.g. database files) This strategy means that future defragmentation runs will be much quicker, as only a few files need to be checked and defragmented. COMPLETE/Name Files are sorted alphabetically from the beginning to the end of the partition. This leads to quick access to files in a directory. When Windows starts up, many system files will be read in sequence from the \WINDOWS and the \WINDOWS\system32 directories (DLLs, system drives, etc.) and the start-up time will therefore be shorter. This method is particularly recommended for computers on which the files rarely change. This reduces the reorganization time that is needed for every defragmentation. Analyzing Your Volumes Analyzing your hard disks gives you an overview of how heavily fragmented they are. O&O Defrag creates a detailed status report about the fragmentation level once the analysis has been completed. This level will be somewhere between 0 and 100 ? the lower the number (zero is the ideal), the less fragmented your hard disk. A value near 100 is the worst case ? your files are almost completely fragmented. Even values of around 30 mean that the performance of your system is seriously suffering from the level of fragmentation, and that a defragmentation run is strongly recommended. Level Explanation and action needed < 10 All files are almost completely defragmented. This is the ideal condition and can only be achieved and maintained through regular defragmentation. 10 ? 30 This level is reasonable, and means that your hard disks are in good condition. 31 ? 50 Your system is working more slowly than normal because of heavy fragmentation. Defrayment regularly and use the time planning facility included in O&O Defrag. This will keep your system running at a good speed. 51 ? 90 Your system is very heavily fragmented and is suffering from very serious performance losses. You should Defragment your system right away and create jobs for regular defragmentation. Compare the fragmentation levels before and after the defragmentation run. > 90 Almost all of your files are fragmented ? you?ve probably never, or very seldom, defragmented your system. The effect on your system is dramatic. Defragment your hard disks frequently, and bear in mind that it might take several runs before an ideal fragmentation level is reached. Starting an Analysis ? Select the volume to be analyzed in the volume list. ? Start the analysis via the toolbar or from the context menu (select "Analyze?). The analysis can take a few moments, even if the volume is small. You can follow the progress of the analysis on the volume symbol and the progress display. ? When the analysis is finished, a dialog window with a summary of the volume information will be displayed. You can display the detailed status report as a HTML document in your web browser. Note: You can analyze several volumes simultaneously. Mark the various volumes by keeping the Ctrl key depressed whilst selecting. Defragmentation Execution You can defragment your volumes either parallel or in sequence. Defragmenting in sequence means that the volumes will be defragmented one after the other in alphabetical order. If you choose parallel defragmentation or volumes that lie on physically separate drives (partitions) will be defragmented at the same time. This significantly speeds up the defragmentation. If you only have one physical hard drive on your system, the volumes will be defragmented in sequence. Power Management Power management is especially intended for notebooks. You can specify that defragmentation should not take place when the notebook is running on battery power. When the notebook is reconnected to the mains power, the defragmentation will automatically be resumed. If your computer is switched off, it can be roused by O&O Defrag out of standby mode to carry out the defragmentation. You can thereby defragment at night or at the weekend without having to be physically present or leaving the computer on.
