Title: 2 Ways of Making Your SDHC A Resident Hard Drive in XP :)

Post by: rljaplit on April 25, 2008, 11:06:20 PM

Recommended Fix - Mounting Your SD/SDHC Card

Recommended if you only have one SD/SDHC card reader (stock) and regularly swap out cards.

A simple solution is to mount the SD/SDHC card as a directory in C:\, which is a local disk. This tricks programs into

thinking they are being installed to a directory on C:\, and also allows you to swap cards on the fly without any

issues. And because you are not making any driver modifications, you get to keep your high read/write performance.

It's also much simpler and can be easily unmounted.

1. Create a Program Files directory on your SD/SDHC card (example: E:\Program Files\)

2. Create a SDHC directory in your C:\Program Files\ directory. (example: C:\Program Files\SDHC\)

3. Right click on My Computer and click Manage.

4. Select the Disk Management plugin under Storage on the left.

5. Right click on your SD/SDHC drive and click Change Drive Letter and Paths.

6. Click Add

7. Make sure Mount in the following empty NTFS folder is selected, and browse for the directory you created in

step 2.

8. Click OK to the three windows open and close Computer Management.

Traditional Fix - MicroDrive Drivers

Recommended if you have a second card reader modification/hack or only own one memory card.

This fix will trick Windows and program installers into thinking your SD/SDHC card is a fixed local disk. While this has

the obvious benefit of allowing stubborn installers to install to your SD/SDHC card just like the Mount method, it also

carries the unfortunate side effects of decreased read/write performance, as well as hampering the card reader's

plug and play and hot-swappability (after you install this driver, once you swap out your card, Windows will not

quickly recognize the new card).

1. Download the MicroDrive drivers (http://www.xpefiles.com//files/xpfildrvr1224_320.zip) and extract them to a

folder on the desktop.

2. Insert your SD/SDHC card into your EeePC.

3. Click Start > Run > type regedit (without quotes) and click OK.4. Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USBSTOR\Disk&Ven_USB2.0&Prod_CardReader_SD0&Rev_0100/.

5. Inside that you should find another directory that is just a bunch of numbers. Mine reads: 146030377350&0.

Select it to display its contents in the right pane.

6. In the right pane you should see a key called HardwareID. Double-click on it.

7. You should see 7 lines of text. Copy ONLY the first line to the clipboard. Mine reads:

USBSTOR\DiskUSB2.0__CardReader_SD0__0100

8. Click Cancel, and close Registry Editor.

9. Open cfadisk.inf in the directory you unzipped the MicroDrive driver to.

10. Delete all lines between [cfadisk_device] and [cfadisk_addreg].

11. Below [cfadisk_device], insert a new line, and type the following: %Microdrive_devdesc% = cfadisk_install,

12. After the comma, hit CTRL V to paste what you copied from the registry into the file.

13. Save the file.

14. Right click My Computer and click Manage.

15. On the left pane, click the Device Manager plugin.16. Under disk drives, you should see SiliconMotion and USB2.0 Card Reader. Right click on the card reader and

click update driver.

17. Direct the driver updater window to the Hitachi driver you just edited. It wont detect the driver automatically,

you have to specify that you're supplying the disk for the hardware and force it to use the driver.

18. After the driver is updated, restart Windows.

niyaaaa.....rupert lang....hehehehehe.....ok ito miles :) para you dont overburden the eee's ssd. And this way you

get to put all your apps on the sdhc, making it literally a resident hard drive. kailangan lang naka ntfs format yung

sdhc. Although ntfs is said to be strenuous on the sdhc, but at least mas mura yun sa ssd and easy to change. Also

to make it less strenuous on the sdhc, you can turn off ntfs date stamping through the registry :)

Just go to my computer > right click on the sdhc > click properties > click hardware tab > select the sdhc > select

This will now let you reformat the sdhc to ntfs :) then you can follow my earlier post in making it a resident

bro -- when you reinstall OS, you can also reformat sdhc there to ntfs. The installer will ask you to reformat drives

(ex. drive c). It will also show you other drives na pwede i-reformat (as long as the sdhc is inserted in the slot).

Then you can reformat it there along with the ssd :)

Master Rupert: If I do this on my dual boot SDHC, it will erase my win xp os there? Di pwede di ba? Tnx


Post by: shinrai on May 02, 2008, 06:54:16 AM

The dual boot SDHC needs to be FAT formatted as far as I've researched. So, no please don't reformat to NTFS or

convert the FAT formatting to NTFS.

Yup .... di pwede sa dual boot. And when you reformat....it erases everything.

hi. how do you format the sdhc to make it ntfs? thanks.



sorry for asking re how to format into ntfs. just saw an earlier post on how to do this. thanks just the same.



ummm i think dapat hitachi macrodriver mo muna para maging resident drive yung sdhc then you'd be able to

reformat your sdhc via right click on the drive tpos format then make it into NTFS....

yup maynard....but pwede din i-reformat before you microdrive it. Just do the my computer > select the drive >

properties > hardware > select drive > properties > policies > then click Optimize > OK

Then you can now reformat :)

that was how i did.question: when i install a new app, which usually by default goes to c:\program files, will the new app now go to

e:\program files? btw i'm using an 8-gig sdhc. thanks again.

[/quote]

when u insgtall a new app...you have to custom install it and point it to the sdhc location...example: drive e:....then

you can install the apps there. If it default installs to drive c, it will be on drive c. So be careful....when ur about to

install...it will ask "install to drive c?", you have to choose custom install and browse to the desired drive location. :)



thanks. will do that.

Good for you, Pinkstarr :) Enjoy it! But may I suggest that you turn off date stamping on your drives (ssd and sdhc)

this will extend the life of your drives much further :)

Disabling Time Stamping pala (and not date stamping...sorry about that)....check out this link:

http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/50/



Here's an easier way to disable time stamping:

Tweak #2: Disable Last Access Timestamp

Whenever XP reads a file, it stamps the file with the date and t ime that you accessed it. This feature has its place

but is not required for normal use unless you rely on the date of last access for backup purposes, which is a rare

requirement for most backups. Putting a timestamp on a file that has just been read means that a write access has

to be made to disk, so every time a read is executed, a corresponding write is also executed.

To disable the last access timestamp behaviour, start a command prompt, enter the following command then reboot;

FSUTIL behavior set disablelastaccess 1

Those of us who read and write Her Majesty's English need to take note of the American spelling of the BEHAVIOR

parameter. To turn timestamps back on, repeat the command but replace 1 with 0;

FSUTIL behavior set disablelastaccess 0



I tried disabling it. but how do I know if it works? :)

thanks!




I tried disa bling it. but how do I know if it works? :)

thanks!

You can check it in the registry....but it's a bit too tedious .... can I show u at the meet n greet? :)

You can check it in the registry....but it's a bit too tedious .... can I show u at the mee t n greet? :)

Or, when you've done it...and you reboot....when you hover your cursor over files, there shouldn't be any time

stamps anymore that pop out.



you can just show me during the meet and greet. :) you can check if I did the right thing or not. :D

thanks rl! I'm so happy now. I'm learning a lot from this forum. its amazing!

u'll never learn to do something until u try it on your own.

with the help of the forum members, im sure ull be okay.

dont be afraid of t inkering your unit, real learning comes from experience.

Alam ko kaya ko ito... I have done scarier things with my desktop at home. Iba kasi pakiramdam pag laptop eh. And

that when I read the instructions parang too much information all at once. I get overwhelmed, hehehe :D

It's like what happened with putting my router on WEP/WPA with MAC addresses following Mark_eee's step by step

thingy. Ni-resist ko for a week before sitting down, reading it through and doing everything in one night. Very

successful naman.

I will take the opportunity to ask all my questions kina Myles and Rupert later to clear up the fog in my head ;D



kayang kaya yan mona, kung kami nagawa namin why can't you dba? nandito naman yung mga tec h guru/mastersnating sila myles and rupert eh....go lang ng go....

Hi XGenD...thanks....but I'd like to give the credit to the wonderful friends we have at eeeusers.com.....they were

the 1st ones to compile the instructionals for the SDHC into resident drives. We just learn well from them :)



Guys,

I have used both methods extensively....and my personal opinion is....the Mounting Method is the better one. It's

way easier to set-up, it retains the hi-speed processing of the sdhc and you can st ill take out the sdhc withoutcausing you're system to hang :) just my 2-cent's worth :)

matry n nga mamya.

question lang, nun inalis ko ung SDHC, meron pa rin drive E:\ dun sa MY COMPUTER.. (E:\ is for my SDHC)

that does mean na resident drive na sya? sori di ko alam eh ;D

it depends which method you followed....kung mounting method...yes lalabas pa din yung removable drive. I suggest

you go with the Mounting method...so when you take out your sdhc, di sya magha-hang.

it depends which method you fo llowed....kung m ounting me thod...yes lalaba s pa d in yung removable d rive. I suggest you go with theMounting method...so when you take out your sdhc, di sya magha-hang.

pero rup medyo naka experience ako ng topak with mounting method eh....i mean kaya nga ako napilitang mag micro

driver eh....so you think mas ok pa rin yung method 1?

mas simple and mas effic ient mag Mounting method...baka u may have missed a step sa mounting (yung sa

designating the drive letter part)....kasi di dapat magtopak yun method na yun kasi, registry wise, that's the safest

eh.

if you use the mounting method (method 1), can you still install apps to the SD CARD?

Yes :) same function on both....it's just that mounting method is much easier to do and it seems the sdhc runs

faster with mounting method.




roops,

di ko ma gawa ung sa numb er 7 ng mounting method.

fat32 yung ssd ko .nareformat ko na yung SDHC to NTFS.




11/14

dun sa number 7 nung mounting method, pag click yun browse, yung E:\SDHC lang lumalabas. ala yung C:

is it because FAT32 yung c:?

help

that's ur prob....ssd mo is fat32.....this only works on an ntfs system.

Naka dual boot ka ba?



Quote from: TAMS on June 06, 2008, 01:16:07 PM

nope hindi ako naka dual boo t.

so the mounting and hitachi driver could only work if the ssd is formatted in NTFS?

Yup :)

Tell me...naka xp ka ba? If yes, how come you're ssd is on fat32?


Post by: XGenD on June 06, 2008, 05:43:33 PM

Siguro to reduce the hassle of tweaking the NTFS Stamp Dating... parang ako :D

yup. naka nliteXP ako . but my SSD is on FAT32. y? wrong b yun?

di naman wrong....if you feel it's working efficiently for you then that's ok. But most XP's I've encountered naka ntfs

talaga eh.

Why did you format it to fat32 upon xp install? If you don't mind me asking.


Post by: shinrai on June 07, 2008, 08:42:03 AM

i also suggest fat32 since ntfs is really better for larger drives (mga 64GB above) and fat32 is fine for smaller ones.

DVD iso lang naman di mo maco-copy sa fat32 e.




suggestion nung tech sa office.pag fat32 daw kasi eh hindi masyado m agalaw yung nasa loobkasi daw OS ang nakalagay sa C:, so in order not to accidentally format or something, nilagay nya as FAT32.and yung D: dahil mga documents and stuff na laging nagpapalit, dapat naman daw NTFS.that time ka si di p ako m arunong ma g reformat, so agree lang ako.

now, i cant reformat it to NTFS kasi may mga nilagay n mga applications yung office tech for it to work sa office environment namin.

yung sa ibang laptops ko nman, puro NTFS na ang mga drives. both C: and D: kaya ok naman.

yung sa EEEPC na 8G, nilaga y ko lang eh yung nLITE XP + office 2007 = 2.92Gmeron pang natitirang 4.98G sa SSDayaw ko na galawin yung SSDso was contemplating sana na dun sa 16G SDHC ilagay mga ibang applications and documents




12/14

nareformat ko na nga yung SDHC as NTFS yung nga lang di ko m aimount dun sa C:

anyway, hindi ko naman na tinatangal yung SDHC sa loob. for documents lang talaga sya at 16G naman so malaki p rin un.

yung mga movies, songs, pictures nasa 3 external drives. all 250G hehe. nauubos pera ko sa mga external drives.although yung isang external drive ko eh binilhan ko nung housing na player.nilagay ko lahat ng mga movies dun. meron na syang port para magplay sa tv without the use of a dvd player. cool nga eh. i have 200+movies na dun and i can plug and play kahit sang tv hehe.

OT na pala. anyway, room mo naman to RL hehe. thanks. uy yung sticker mo at yung peanut brittle andto pa.

Ah ok...thanks for clearing that up :)

Hey...thanks talaga sa st icker and peanut brittle pare....sige meet up tayo this week....tapos eee talk din tayo over

coffee :)

Applicable lang ba sa Program Files yung MOUNT method? Pwede bang yung buong SDHC ang ma add sa C: ?

Ex: Hindi ako nag create ng My Documents folder sa D: (SDHC) at ang natit irang disk space ko sa C: (SSD) ay

900mb. Pag nag save ba ako ng presentation file na 1.2gb ang size sa My Documents folder sa C: , automatic ba

itong mag write ng 900mb sa SSD at 300mb sa SDHC?

FAT32 is only used now pag meron kang ibang os na nag-aaccess sa drive mo aside from xp and vista, otherwise

NTFS is the norm. Also, I think win98 and dos cannot access ntfs file system.

NTFS is a lot safer than FAT32 in terms of corruption. Also, under vista, you can format a removable drive as NTFS.

Yun na ata ang norm ng Vista. Under XP, you can only format SDHC as FAT32

Note: Here's one thing I noticed when I tried formatting my SDHC to NTFS in my Vista desktop. When I put it in my

eepc SDHC card reader, inde nya nabasa yung card. But when I put it in the SDHC card reader I bought from cdrking

(60 pesos), my eeepc-xp can read and write to it. weird.

Yes, Mount is applicable to the entire SDHC. You can save any files onto the mounted sdhc. If you save something

to my docs (which has not been mounted), it will all save to drive c.

The purpose of mounting the entire sdhc is to add more space to drive c. The system will think that it's using the

ssd, when in fact it's using the sdhc. The reason why you put in program files, is to allow the system to install

applications to it. So when you're installing an app, in install process, point to c:\program files\sdhc\ .

If you just want to save a file, point to the removable drive directly....ex: save to d:\docs.

Hope this helps :)

Actually under xp, you can format sdhc to fat, fat32 or ntfs. Just right click on sdhc > properties > hardware tab >

select the sdhc > properties > policies tab > and set to optimize > then you can already format the sdhc to ntfs if

you wish :)

Nice! Didn't know that. I learned some thing new today ;D I'll try that. Thanks.

fun to uncover plenty things with xp no? That's why it's my favorite eh.

I'd really love na sana to migrate the eee to vista (vLite)...kaya lang that frickin winsxs is just to heavy! Baka you

know of a technique to get around that?



I was able to vlite my Vista ultimate install disk to around 722mb which amounted to 1.2gb footprint installed. I didn't

touch the winsxs anymore since the installed footprint is already acceptable to me. Ang problema ko lang dun saEEE900 ko before is di ko ma-fix yung ACPI audio error every time I boot up. It was looking for the audio driver in

WDM directory which is only for XP since sa Vista, iba na yung directory where the audio drivers are located. It was

only a minor incovenience though since audio function keys (Fn+keys) don't work. Other than that, everything was

fine and Vista is running fine. You have to have 2GB RAM though otherwise you'll notice the slowness.

Note: I think winsxs size depends on the vista installer size coz I noticed that the winsxs folder on the regular Vista

install on my desktop is pretty big. It's in the GB's which in my eee, it was way smaller.
