usb flash drive access speeds

Submitted by rustyconc on November 22, 2007 - 3:46pm

Anyone have any insight into why Win2k access speeds are so much faster than WinXP Pro? I've noticed this on 3 different drives running ThunderbirdPortable. Is there any way to tweak XP to act like Win2k? There are noticable delays (e.g., click on a message, pause, preview comes up in the pane, etc.) when using TP on WinXP that are not noticable at all on Win2k. Defragmenting helps, but doesn't fully do the trick. Obviously, a WinXP 'problem' not PortableApps, but I thought folks here might have a trick or two to get around it.

Thanks, Russell

Edit: I don't have an idea why you guys decided it was an awesome idea to revive this, It's a 3 year old forum post.

Homepage: http://www.rocketdock.com/
Liscense: Freeware

How to make portable:

1. Download RocketDock From The Link Below: http://files.punklabs.com/RocketDock/RocketDock-v1.3.5.exe
2. Install to the system, or your flash drive (Universal Extractor will not work)
3. If you installed to the system, copy the RocketDock directory to the PortableApps directory on your flash drive.
4. Run rocketdock.exe

I'm trying to run my flash drive from a Ubuntu live CD (As in using the live CD and seeing if I can use PAM there). It said that it can't run "file:///media/usbstick/startportableapps.exe" Anyone got an idea?
(Yes, I searched, unsuccessfully)
