Abstract: A method is revealed for optimizing the performance of a computer by means of purpose-specific sections created in its main non-volatile storage medium. Such method creates a basic set of purpose-specific sections in order to separate, at a physical level and at a logical level, vital elements for equipment operation such as operating system, dynamic files, applications and user's files; and, optionally, creates an additional set of purpose-specific sections for storing non-vital elements separated in like manner. A secondary method, which supplements the previous one, in order to optimize quickly a unlimited number of identical computers, is also shown. Additionally, an optimized main non-volatile storage medium that results from using either one of the previous methods is presented. Applying this invention generates numerous advantages for the owner of the equipment being optimized.
