Hello PeterUK,

I have now "This tool is not supported on the selected drive" i really do not understand why... it is my

SSD HD 😞

What the motherboard and what driver are you using?

For the SSD Optimizer to work in XP, you need:

1) A 34nm G2 Intel SSD (you have)

2) Firmware version 02HA or higher (should have)

3) Microsoft AHCI or Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers (I suspect this to the reason)

My SATA controller are NVIDIA MCP51 so IMSM are not compatible...

TIP ! I have found the solution on a competitor community forum

The second tweak is changing the Nvidia driver to the Microsoft one. Go to Device Manager -> IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. You should see the device 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller', or maybe a few of them depending on how many devices you have installed. Go to properties on each one and for every ****** drive, do the following. Go to Driver -> Update Driver -> 'Install from a specific list or location (Advanced)' -> 'Don't search. I will choose the driver to install.' Select 'Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller' and click 'Next'. Click 'Finish' and reboot.

This tweak is a must for anyone with an Nforce chipset as it gives a great boost in the reads and a small increase in writes.

So now it works ! i will answer shortly to give you comparison speed...
