Hard disk is an important part of computer, but its stability and usage time can not as well as other fixings in the computer. That is to say, you should pay more attention to protect your hard disk so as to improve computer performance. This is what I want to tell you in this article.

The one of problems is that if there is any error in the hard disk, it can hinder the applications to write temporary files into it. In order to solve it, you should make sure that there are not excessive temporary files, so it is better for you to remove them at first. By doing this, you can know that the problem is caused by too many files or disk errors.

First of all, I would like to tell how and where to clear up temporary files. Sometimes, redundant temporary files can be in the way of writing to hard disk.
Temporary folder: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files and C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\
History temporary folder: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\recent\
Internet temporary folders: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

In the menu of browser, you can click “Tools”—“Internet Options”. In the “Temporary Internet files” tab, click “Settings”—“View Files”. And then you can open this cache folder.
Or you can click “Start”—“Run” and type “Chkdsk” and press “Enter” or click “OK” so that the computer can start to check disk. In this way, you can add “D:” or “E:” to check them. Besides, you can also add the parameter of “blank/F” to restore errors automatically when detecting errors. For example, click “Start”—“Run” and type “Chkdsk D: /F”. You should be careful that there is a blank ahead of “F”.

Certain software like playing ones can produce temporary folders automatically when running. Such folders end with “temp” or “tmp”. You can find them by searching local disks and remove them manually.

Another problem is computer always reminds that “disk boot error” and you have to restart computer many times before entering into system. Why?

If you have encountered this problem, it is no doubt that there is logical or physical bad track in the hard disk. In the first place, you can enter into system and open the disk defragmenting program of Windows by clicking “Start”—“All Programs”—“Accessories”—“System Tools”. Choose to scan thoroughly and tick “Automatically fix errors” and then perform scanning program to see whether you can get rid of this trouble. If not, you had better back up the important files and data to other storage and try other restoring software to put those bad tracks into certain partition and hide them. The last method is to do low-level format. Although it softens or shield problems, low-level formatting can harm your disk without question. That is to say, you ought to make your mind cautiously before doing that.

All in all, since a lot of cause can lead to hard disk problems
. The best method to prevent them is to protect hard disk in advance.
