Activate 32-bit Disk Access: 32-bit Disk Access refers to a special writing mode available in 32-bit operating systems, that may or may not run purely 32-bit applications. Sometimes enabling this mode on older operating systems may break older programs. Check the box to set other various options below.

Minimum contiguous file allocation size: You can specify contiguous file allocation size using the slider. If the blocks of free space are smaller than the size specified, they are not used. It would only search for the higher value memory blocks. This in turn would speed up the read and write operations as the hard disk doesn't have to search around as much to read and write the files.
 

bullet

File path cache size: You can specify the size of the cache that you want to reserve for the file path using the slider, resulting in faster access to files. The maximum size can be set to 64 KB.

Read Ahead Optimization: Earlier versions of Windows, like Windows 98, use tools called Read Ahead Optimization to improve the performance of the hard disk and removable disks.  The Read Ahead Optimization slider establishes how much additional data Windows should look for each time data is retrieved from the hard disk. Read Ahead buffering improves performance by reducing the number of times your machine has to go out to the relatively slow hard disk to get data. Set the slider all the way to the right. This can give Windows 100% buffering.
