Slow Speed? Defragment Now
Oct 31st
No one hopes that his computer may run slower and slower. But it is unavoidable that the computer is bound to encounter decreasing performance, if you do not take any action to improve it.
Therefore, besides using anti-virus software to detect the system, you can also use some other methods to solve it. This is what I want to tell you in this article.
Do you find your computer is running slower and slower? But, do you know that even you do not perform any operation, the disk is still working for you as usual? In fact, it is because there are a large number of fragments produced by using the computer.
To be correctly, the fragments should be called files fragments. They are dispersed into different places of the disk discontinuously. In other simple word, any programs’ read-write operation may create fragments in the disk. And in the daily usage, PC users set up, delete and update the files in the disk one after another. As time goes by, there are numerous files fragments heaping which have serious impact on computer performance, waste disk space and lessen its usage.
When running the system may apply some disk spaces to virtual memory. You can right-click “My Computer” to choose “Properties”, in the “Advanced” tab, click “Settings” of “Performance” and then click “Advanced”, you will see how many spaces are used for virtual memory. And, when the system is running, such spaces are occupied and the defragmentation cannot do anything to them. But do not worry, they have little influence on the system performance. It is advisable for you to defragment in the “Safe Mode”, because it is faster to do it.
By doing this, you can enjoy the computer high speed again. Well, if you also want to enjoy the high speed of defragmentation, you can click here to find the best answer.

It is better to scan them once a month.
If the computer is not closed down correctly, such as forced to shut down by serious system crush, the system may require scanning hard disk again after re-starting computer. Because it can not start to restore the error automatically under DOS circumstance, it cannot scan in this state. But, you should remember which drivers are required to scan. After entering into the Windows, you must scan and restore them completely.
Therefore, it is a must for you to shape a good habit of closing down computer correctly. If electric power turns off abruptly when disk is working, it is likely to lead to violent attrition among disks and damage them. In this regard, you should be careful to check whether the disk indicator light is still on or not. Only after the light is off and finishing the read-write operation, you can shutdown the computer safely.
Besides, you should make good prevention for virus and Trojan program. Nowadays, many computer viruses are designed for damaging disk. Therefore, you should use anti-virus to scan and update the disk and backup the important data frequently.

As you enjoy the convenience and efficiency of computer, you may have bothered a lot of problems. Since disks are so important for computer, it is necessary to maintain the disk. In this article, you will learn some advanced tips in this regard.
You had better not to overclock the hard disk.
Many users are fond of overclocking the CPU of the computer. Although the outer frequency of computer has been improved, the hard disk appears with a mess of problems, such as frequent blue screen, seriously heated disk, and logic or physical broken tracks. Here, I would like to tell you some facts of computer. IDE interface of hard disk is dependent on the PCI. If the frequency of PCI is being increased, it may bring about many unstable results. Hard disk is totally different from memory. It just works by mechanical structure. Therefore, since the increasing of frequency, some disks lost data, even worse, it may cause data’s permanent damage.
Nowadays, most main boards use PCI technology. If you overclock the CPU, you must limit the PCI frequency in case that greater disaster in the future.
And, if you download any files from the Internet frequently, you should try to protect the hard disk as much as possible. You should adjust the cache according to the memory and reduce the read-write operations so as to protect your hard disk. If the cache is too small but the downloaded files, it may read and write the disk hourly. As time goes by, it harms disk definitely. Therefore, you should readjust the cache maximally to protect the disk.
All in all, you take good care of your hard disk in case of any unexpected problem happened. And, you can find more ways in maintaining disk.
Disk Defragmentation—Useful Tips of Defragmentation

Normally, you can use the Disk Defragmenter of the Windows to solve it. And, if you are a computer fan, you can take the steps as follows:
In fact, the scanning disk of Window contains many order parameters. You can realize them in the MS¬¬_DOS mode or “Run” dialog box by click “Start”–“Run”. If you use such order parameter frequently, you can start a shortcut for them. Here are some order parameters you can learn.
/SILENT: it does not allow making any optional and advanced settings
/A: check all the local hard disk.
/N: start and exit scan disk program automatically.
/p: prohibit the program to restore the found errors.
X: mean the drive number you want to detect.
For example, if you want to detect drive E, automatically start and exit the scan disk program, you can type SCANDSKW E: /N. And, if you want to check all the hard disks and forbid the scanning disk to restore any found error, you can type SCANDSKW /A /P.
It is useful for you to learn some methods to help defragmentation when there is something unexpected happened. And, you also can turn a useful defrag to solve the problem forever.
