REQUIREMENTS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE:
1. A PC/Notebook that is running stable and trouble-free
2. A correctly installed operating system
3. Cables correctly connected to the hard disk
4. Regular execution of the Windows
®
defragmenter and scandisk
programs to remove sources of error and increase the system per-
formance.
Defragmenting your hard drive can take some time (several hours even on
a fast PC), and you cannot use your PC during this time. It's advised that
you leave your PC defragmenting over night. To defragment your drive in
Windows 2000/XP:
1. Close down all applications and disable your virus scanner if pos-
sible. Also switch off any screensavers.
2. Click Start and then Programs->Accessories->System Tools-
>Disk Defragmenter
3. Select a drive and click Analyze.
4. Defragment if it is recommended.
ScanDisk is not present in Windows XP. Instead, use Check Disk. To start
Check Disk:
1. Open My Computer, right-click a drive, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, under Error-checking, click Check Now
Sometimes Defragmenter or Scandisk works on 10% or 30% of a hard
drive and might get stuck. This is usually caused by Windows programs
running in the background. If this happens, you can prevent force Win-
dows to not run automatic background programs. To run ScanDisk or
Defrag successfully:
1. Go to Start->Run and type 'msconfig' in the Open: box.
2. On the General tab, uncheck all items listed under Selective
Startup (make sure that Selective Startup is selected).
3. Hit apply and OK and restart Windows. This starts Windows with
only the basics running; Insures nothing will interfere with Scan-
Disk and Defragmenter.
4. Run ScanDisk and Defrag.
5. Go to Start->Run and type ‘msconfig’ in the Open: box. Select
Normal Startup.
6. Restart Windows.
