Your Computer’s Hard Drive is possibly, the most important part of your PC. It not only holds the Operating System, but also your important personal files and all those irreplaceable Digital Photo’s. What would happen if it failed?
A little maintenance, now and then, will not only improve the performance of your Disk drive, and your slow computer, but could possibly also identify any problems that are developing, so you can take action before it’s too late.
When was the last time you did a Back-up of your hard drive? You should consider doing one, then if a disaster strikes your Computer, you will have a back up of all your files and Photo’s. Back up to an external media for safety. An External Hard drive is the easiest method for a full back up. If you just want to back up your Pictures and personnal files, CD’s may be a better option or a Flash Drive.
5 Tips:
*Defragment your main drive (usually ‘C’) once a month
*Run an Anti-Spyware program, once a week.
*Run a Full System scan with your Anti-virus, once a week.
*Run the Disc Clean Up, System tool, once a month.
*Take a load off; Copy last year’s Pictures to CD, make two or more copies for safety, then delete them from your Computer. Do the same with some of your Music Files.
Regular maintenance will improve the performance of your Disk drive and will help to speed up your computer.
