General Tips for Maintenance
1
Check the capacity of your hard disk drive from time to time. If the
hard disk drive gets too full, Windows
produce errors.
2
Empty your recycle bin on a regular basis.
3
Use Diskeeper Lite or the Microsoft Disk Defragmenter on your hard
disk drive on a regular basis to improve data seek and read time.
To free up disk space, uninstall unused application programs.
Note:
You might also want to look for application program duplication or
overlapping versions.
Clean out your Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders from your e-mail client
program.
At least once a week, make a point to back up your data. If critical data is
present, it is a good idea to perform a daily backup. Lenovo has many
backup options available for your computer. CD-RW drives and CD-
RW/DVD drives are available for most computers and are easily
installed.
Use or schedule System Restore to take a system snapshot periodically.
Note:
Always take a system snapshot before installing new drivers, updating
software, or installing new software.
