BASIC MAINTENANCE
The most easy to do is keep your hard drive is blank as possible (meaning no need to install programs / games that you rarely use). If the contents of your hard drive is not much, then your hard drive is not going to spend a long time to find the data you need.
At least once a month you need to check your programs and decide what application programs or games that are not so necessary. If you find it, delete it from your hard drive. If the program has the option to remove themselves (uninstall), just use that feature. Usually the program Windows 9x or Macintosh applications have uninstalled it. If you believe the program will delete itself, or is unavailable its uninstall program, make sure that you do not delete important files manually. Use the uninstall provided by the operating system.
This is also the underlying reason why a structure with a neatly organized directory that is very important. Separate your important files with other data and files are owned by the operating system in a different place. You will be spared from the deletion of important filefile unintentionally, especially operating systems and file
your data.
Rebuild, repair, reboot
At one point, removal of the files that are not needed may no longer be adequate. Actually, the more you delete and add files, your hard disk will be increasingly fragmented. If this is you let it, bad things can happen on the hard disk. Your hard drive will start running slow, and, in time, although relatively long time-it could damage the hard drive itself. Fortunately, you prevent this bias by performing the steps
simple. Macintosh users must purchase certain programs to optimize performance such as Norton Utilities and others, while PC owners can get the free utility program from the Windows operating system. Of course, these programs are not
is a special application such as Norton Utilities, but this program is to optimize the default. If your hard drive is fragmented, simple way to handle this by
mendefragmentasi the hard drive. That’s why programs like Defrag and Scandisk you can get for free on Windows, to help optimize your hard disk. Checking defrag your hard drive, looking for what files are not in place, and also move the other files in accordance with the order. Scandisk checks your hard disk and look for the possibility of error, and usually fix it automatically. Sometimes, a program does not erased fully and Scandisk is smart enough to help you restore the missing bits on the disk that may not be able to use while correcting other errors. You must run these programs regularly. For Macintosh owners, if you do not have Norton Utilities, miss buy! No special application on the Macintosh operating system to optimize the hard disk. In the Norton Utilities, a program for smoothing disk is SpeedDisk, while to check or correct errors is Norton Disk Doctor. Even Norton Disk Doctor was able to prevent additional bad sectors on your hard drive. Just as the owner of the PC, Macintosh users should be smoothed at least a month routinely drive
once.
RIGHT Shut Down
It is also very important for owners of computers with the Windows 9x operating system up or Macintosh is not arbitrarily turn off the computer! On these operating systems, there is a way to turn off the computer properly (properly shut down). If you turn off the computer is not done the right way, you risk losing important data or files that are stored will be destroyed. Alternatively, the computer will not work because the hard drive appears damaged or bad sectors. This is dangerous, man! So, use the shutdown command. Do not become impatient. The time you spend on the computer waiting to die really not worth the time you spend if problems occur on your computer. Not to mention the funds you have to remove in case of physical damage to the hard drive of your favorite.
REINSTALL WITH CORRECT
Installation disk with the correct way can provide a very significant effect on the performance of our computer. Try to follow the following principles:
Try to drive the same type on one cable (with hard disk drives)
Do not attach a slower device (eg CD-ROM) along with the hard drive cable
Save important software (operating system) on a faster hard drive
Make a faster hard drive as the master
If possible, place your Windows 95/98 system in separate partition
Place the virtual memory and cache memory on the drive where the system is placed (usually on drive
If possible, store it away and back up important software from Windows drives
Use a slower hard drive for data storage and software that is less important
Ensure that all components are properly installed without conflict (see in Device Manager)
The program is able to optimize the compression, but also reduce access speed
hard disk. So, please you choose, want a quick or broad?
Some of the above suggestions you can only do if you tidy up your PC again (opening the case, for example). If you’ve done this correctly, then the disk access speed can be increased.
Also files with extension. Tmp and. Tub or residing in the Temp directory (Temporary) also reduces bias your system performance. We recommend that if you are sure the files are not used, you can throw them away
