Computer Maintenance—How to Maintain Hard Disk Correctly
Nov 30th
As one of most durable fixings among computer components, hard disk can be used for six to seven years on condition that it is preserved well. Now, I will tell you how to maintain hard disk correctly.
The hard disk maintenance can be divided into two aspects. From point of view of hardware, it is better to use case, especially for those computer players. Although putting computer on the desk can help heat radiation and uninstall, it can harm computer hardware as well and hard disk in particular. Since hard disk is working with high speed, any unstable wave may lead to furious collision between disk head and Disc. And, you should avoid high temperature when using computer because it can affect computer working normally and bring damages to hard disk.
At the same time although some users know correct hard disk maintenance can do good to computer, their hard disks are still suffered from damages due to improper operations.
Though they have learned regular defragmentation can do good for hard disk from websites, they do not realize how “regular” means. If they think it can speed up computer when defragmenting hourly, it is completely wrong. As a matter of fact, frequent disk defragmentation may drag disk using efficiency. In the long run, it falls short of improving computer speed, even run counter to the desire.
What is good for hard disk and computer is to defragment properly. If you do not defragment disk for a long time, an increasingly number of disk fragments are piling in the hard disk. Then, when you visit certain of them in the future, it may take much more to read these files. Since time goes by, it can reduce files visiting speed and also harm disk tracks probably.
And when copying files, some prefer to copy several files at one time but do not know that the hard disk is overburdening, since you may find hard disk creaking loudly. Therefore, you should use anti-virus software to protect your hard disks, for example CIH may destroy the partitions in the hard disk and result in the loss of data.
Besides, do not try to use disk compress technology in the system tools. At present, disk capacity is large enough to support the computer running. It is really unnecessary to save disk space by compressing hard disks. What is more, it can slow down disk read-write data speed and affect disk usage indirectly. If you urgently want to free up disk space, it is better for you to get rid of junk files such as temporary and swap ones.
Many users do not form a good habit of closing down computer. They are hurry to pull out electric power without shutting down computer completely, even some turn off switch. However, the computer has not been replaced yet. Therefore, you should pay closed attention to whether hard disk indicator is on or not when turning off computer. It is a good habit for you in order to maintain your computer well.
In this regard, you may find it is very important to form a good habit of maintaining computer correctly, because it has influenced on hard disk and computer performance. It is a must for you to shape such good habit so as to guarantee your computer can work for you efficiently.

Nov 19th
Do you find your computer can not work efficiently as it is supposed to do? But all the running parts are still working very well and not attacked by any virus. In fact, it is a computer alarm that you should do something to maintain your computer.
No matter you are a computer novice or veteran, it is necessary for you to learn some methods to improve computer performance in order to guarantee computer to work well for you.
If you always visiting the websites or downloading files or videos from Internet, you should know that it is a good habit to clear away a bunch of temporary files which are left by browsing websites. Such files are inevitable but you can get rid of them manually. You can open IE browser and choose “Internet Options”. In the dialog box, click “General” tab and click “Delete Files” in the “Temporary Internet files” column. And in the “Delete Files” dialog box, tick “Delete all offline content” and click “OK”. By doing this, you can free up disk space a lot and optimize PC performance.
You can close down devices that you do not use any more.
In fact, Windows system can install drive programs for all the devices as many as possible. Such behavior is good will but it slows down computer startup speed and takes up a lot of system resource. In order to solve this problem, you can open “Device Manager” by right-clicking “My Computer”—“Properties”—“Hardware” and click “Device Manager” in the column. In the tab, you can double-click the device you want to turn off, such as the function of “Printer Port”. In the “General” tab, you choose “Do not use this device (disable)” and restart the computer. All of these new settings go into effect immediately. If you want to start them up, you can change in the same tab.
If your hard disk is using NTFS file system, you can consider starting up the compressing function of NTFS. Choose the drive you want to compress and in the “General” tab, you can choose to compress disk so as to save disk space. In this way, you can free up twenty percent of disk space more or less. You had better compress C system disk in the “Safe Mode” because it can be more efficient for disks.
And besides, you can clear up the pre-reading files functions. Although pre-reading function of Windows XP can speed up computer, it just can work well for a very short time. Since the files in the prefetch folder are becoming larger and larger, it will cost system a lot of time to search data or files. Therefore, you should delete them regularly.
Among all the methods, here I recommend you to defragment disks. Defragmentation is the easiest way to operate. You can use the defragmenting program of Windows with a few of clicks in more than an hour. Or you can turn to professional defrag named “Advanced Defrag”. By doing this new tool, you just need to wait for few minutes by few clicks.
Since there are many methods to optimize PC performance, you should be patient to try all of them if you really want to improve computer performance.

In the “Power Options Properties”, choose “Hibernate” and cross out the tick of “Enable hibernation” and then click “OK” till you return to desktop. Now, you have turned off it successfully.
Besides, the virtual memory files take up much systematic disk space, so you can put them into other disk. Click “Control Panel”—“Performance and Maintenance”—“System”—“Advanced”, choose “Settings” of “Performance” in this tab. In the new tab, you can click “Advanced” again and click “Change” in the “Virtual Memory” column.

you can uninstall the groupware that you do not use frequently. You can delete them in the “Control Panel”—“Add/Remove Programs”.
After closing down and revising the functions of computer, if you want your computer to run much faster, it is good for you to defragment disks. It should be known to all that defragmentation can speed up computer for its powerful collecting power of the disk fragments. Once the disk fragments have been gathered completely, it is much faster for computer to read and write the data from the disks. Therefore, defragmentation can not do nothing but good to the computer.
You can use the defragmenting program of Windows, of course. But if you want to experience the high speed of defragmentation, it is better for you to use the specific tools to help you.
