As long as you understand the issues involved in disabling the prefetch
feature.

To disable prefetch:

Start the Registry Editor and go to,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Memory
Management\ PrefetchParameters

Double-click the EnablePrefetcher value and change the Value Data to 0 to
disable the prefetcher
Exit and reboot the computer.

The values for the Prefetch key:

0 - no prefetch
1 - prefetch applications only
2 - prefetch boot only
3 - prefetch both applications & boot (default)
