CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the computer, damage to a
drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:
•
Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by touching the
unpainted metal surface of the drive.
•
Do not touch the connector pins on a removable drive or on the
computer.
•
Handle a drive carefully; do not drop or compress the drive.
•
Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive into a drive bay.
•
Do not type on the keyboard or move the computer while the drive
is writing to a medium. The write process is sensitive to vibration.
•
When the battery pack is the only source of power, ensure that the
battery pack is sufficiently charged before writing to a medium.
Using Disk Defragmenter
As you use the computer, the hard disk files become fragmented.
Disk Defragmenter consolidates the fragmented files and folders on the
hard disk so that it can run more efficiently.
To run Disk Defragmenter:
1.
Select Start > Settings > System > About > Additional
Administrative Tools > Defragment and Optimize Drives.
2.
Click a volume, and then click Optimize.
For additional information, access the Disk Defragmenter Online Help.
Using Disk Cleanup
Disk Cleanup searches the hard disk for unnecessary files that you
can safely delete to free up disk space and help the computer to run more
efficiently.
