You cant.
Generally the read write speed is a hardware managed issue, not a software one.
But what kind of data are we talking about?

Theoretically, you can by making the disk spin at a faster RPM. But you'll run into all sorts of read/write errors if you achieved a faster RPM than what the disk is rated for. For what use do you want a faster drive?

Yes, I agree with rod................ It all depends on the speed of your hard drive (4200RPM, 5400RPM, 7200RPM). What interface? (40 Pin IDE, 80 PIN IDE, SCSI, SATA, SATA2, USB, Firewire). So your stuck with whatever you have unless you upgrade. The only way for you to speed up performance on your drive is by............ DEFRAGGING. Try using 3rd party software for defragging, it might help you out more. Also load less stuff during startup, it'll make your computer as a whole, faster.

Check whether "Enable write caching on the disk" is enabled in Device Manager (System properties->Hardware->Device Manager). If it is not enabled, enable it. This does not actually increase the speed of writing, but due to caching, it looks so, such that your computer performance seems to be better.
