There are four ways to speed boot time.
1) Have less songs.
More songs, slower boot time, but as we have hd daps we want more songs so onto the next one.
2) Improve your FAT table layout
As you add more and more songs, and delete some the directory structure and the FAT becomes more complex. This simple, if slow, procedure will speed that up. I culled this from a post by
Mr. Anderson, who improved it from an earlier post....
* Make a full backup of your H320/H340 on your PC.
* Delete all files... also hidden (Recycle Bin can be removed if you use the "TweakUI" tool - link:
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/tweakui).
* Open a commando prompt START->Run->write "cmd" and press enter
* Go to your H3x0 backup drive (write "help cd" if you are lost here [img]images/smilies/icon_smile.gif[/img]) - Check out this tip BTW link:
http://www.tech-recipes.com/windows_tips232.html
* Now copy your "
folder structure" from your "H3x0 backup" to the your "H3x0-drive" (i.e.
E: ) by
C:\H140-BACKUP> xcopy . E: /T
* Verify with a defragmentation program (i.e. "OO defrag") that your folders are positioned at the start of the harddrive.
* If not then try to delete the folders (maybe copy some random big files and delete them again) and do the xcopy folder structure copy again (FAT32 file positioning is strange)
* Copy all your files and
music back to your H3x0 by
C:\H140-BACKUP> xcopy * E: /S
or use Total Commander (Windows Explorer does not copy in correct alphabetical order)
over:
> xcopy * <ihp drive>: /S
3) Turn the database function off.
4) Defragment your players hard drive.
