Maintaining Your Hard Disk

Losing your data has the same consequences as a system break down. Users
must make it a habit of doing hard disk maintenance every week or so. Here is
some maintenance you could do:
•
Always back up your data files from your hard disk.
•
Install the virus detecting program to monitor virus that could tamper
your files.
•
Use SCANDISK occasionally to correct any errors found in the directory
and File Allocation Table. This will also free up space from any unused
sectors.
•
Never move or raise the Netbook while the hard disk is being accessed,
most especially don't jar the hard disk as this may cause a hard disk crash.
•
Use hard disk maintenance programs like Disk Defragmenter of
Windows. These reorganize your hard disk by eliminating fragmentation
and improving your hard disk access time.
•
Install a system password in your Netbook so others won't be able to use
the hard disk.
