and De-fragmenting your hard
drive at least once a week to
optimise the performance of
your Notebook.
Using ScanDisk
The ScanDisk utility examines the hard drive for surface
errors and file and folder problems. ScanDisk corrects
these problems so that Windows and other programmes
run efficiently.
Use ScanDisk from once a week to once a month, depending
on how often you use your Notebook. Also use ScanDisk if
you encounter hard drive problems.
To run ScanDisk, complete the following steps:
1. Click Start , Programmes , and then Accessories .
2. Click System Tools , and then ScanDisk .
3. Select the drive(s) you want to check for errors.
4. Select the type of test you want to run.
5. Click Start to begin scanning your hard drive for errors,
then Click Close when finished.
Using Disk Cleanup
Optimise your system by using the Disk Cleanup maintenance
feature offered in Microsoft Windows. When you use the
Disk Cleanup tool, you can free hard disk space on your
Notebook by:
• Deleting temporary Internet files
• Deleting downloaded programme files
• Emptying the Recycle Bin
• Deleting files from your temporary folder
• Deleting files created by other Windows tools
• Removing optional Windows components not in use
• Removing installed programmes that you do not use
• Converting your hard disk to the FAT32 file system
