Requirements for Optimal Performance:

 a stable, virus-free computer

 a correctly installed operating system

 cables correctly attached to the hard disk

 regular execution of the Windows® defragmenter and scandisk programs to remove

sources of error and increase the system performance.

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 XP:

1. Close down all applications and disable your virus scanner if possible. Also switch off any

screensavers.

2. Click Start and then Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Defragmenter

3. Select a drive and click Analyse.

4. Defragment if your PC recommends it.

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 then pauses. This

is usually caused by Windows programs running in the background. If this happens, you can

prevent Windows from running processes in the background. To run ScanDisk/Defrag success-

fully:

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 Selec-

tive startup is selected).

3. Hit apply and OK and restart Windows. This starts Windows with only the basics running;

This insures nothing will interfere with ScanDisk 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.
