General tips for maintenance
1
Check the capacity of your hard disk drive from time to time. If the
hard disk drive gets too full, Windows
®
will slow down and might
produce errors.
2
Empty your recycle bin on a regular basis.
3
Use Diskeeper Lite or the Microsoft Disk Defragmenter on your hard
disk drive on a regular basis to improve data seek and read time.
• To free up disk space, uninstall unused application programs.
• Clean out your Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders from your e-mail client
program.
• At least once a week, make a point to back up your data. If critical data is
present, it is a good idea to perform a daily backup. Lenovo has many
backup options available for your computer. CD-RW drives and
CD-RW/DVD drives are available for most computers and are easily
installed.
