Which misoperation in Windows can damage your hard disk

In general, today's hard drives are joined by the S.M.A.R.T automatic detection technology, so that users can see the warning before the fatal failure, backup good data-but this is designed for normal operation, if the user's use of the following methods listed below, the occurrence of the failure may be without warning, that is, sudden death.

First, in the boot and shutdown when suddenly forcibly cut off the power

Now the power supply and the ATX design of the motherboard, the general realization of the soft shutdown function. This design makes people feel more convenient. But the soft off the first complete a series of closed the operation of the program, coupled with a variety of operating systems and motherboard manufacturers design compatibility, bug,windows in the shutdown application and then cut off the power of the time will often occur, we may be in many forums and newspaper questions and answers column, all see the question " Why the soft shutdown when the "problem"-at this time the hard drive reset action is probably not completed, if the user uses forcibly cut off the power of the practice, hard disk physical damage is a great possibility.

* Correct approach: If the soft shutdown when the crash, should be pressed reset key, so that the system back into Windows, and then officially complete shutdown operation-This may be cumbersome, but to ensure that the hard drive safely reset, thousands of dollars for your hard disk, safety first AH.

There is the power-on when the cut-off power: in the normal state of course, no one will do such a boring operation, but when there are some such as display cards or memory is not plugged in, the video line loose the situation, resulting in no display computer boot, a lot of people are only immersed in the problem to see, frequent boot, shutdown, plug the Board card, Turn on the boot ... And did not pay attention to the hard drive in the power of the switch under the creak groan-especially when the boot did not show, only a few seconds, the initialization of the hard drive has not been completed, the head is in a sensitive position, all of a sudden cut off power, and then in less than 10 seconds under the current impact, the probability of failure will be greatly increased.

* Recommend the correct approach: first the hard drive power cord unplugged, you can play. After troubleshooting, it is not too late to connect.

Ii. incorrect operation of the partition

It's a rookie mistake. Most of the--windows version of the various versions of the FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, various forms of the existence of different tasks led to the new rookie often want to transform the partition format, now Ghost and PQ Division Master can do the arbitrary operation of the partition, To adjust the size and format of partitions, especially the latter with the ability to format partitions and hide partitions, these tools are handy for people who are familiar with the operation, but for beginners, the partitioning should be done with special care. Because the partition error is a soft fault, not a physical failure, but if the random operation error, without understanding the basic concept of the case, the unthinking "recovery" operation, may cause the partition's boot area and partition table is too confusing can no longer be identified by any tool software- If you do not have the partition table and hard disk boot area data backup, hey, you have to low-level format-low-level format tool use also has a skilled and knowledgeable, because of the partition to make the wrong operation of the new hard disk can not be used by the case, I have seen a lot.

* Recommended measures: Whether you are a veteran or novice, in the hard drive sensitive operation, back up the partition table and boot area data, when the error can be correctly restored at any time. Novice best Please a master, first with the area, familiar with the software interface and instructions after their own operation, after all, the hard disk is different from other accessories, which have your valuable data oh.

Third, the initialization of windows and the use of dangerous practices in the process of operation

When Windows is initialized, is a more sensitive and dangerous time, if the user in the Startup group to download too much, Windows initialization will be time-consuming, can cause a panic-especially because of the fear of the virus loaded more than 2 firewalls, or online monitoring virus software users, The risk of conflict between anti-virus software is very high.

In addition, the Windows family provides the ability to switch applications with the Tab+alt key, especially if you switch back to the Windows interface under a DOS window to make it easier for users to work under the old application. But because DOS is single-threaded operating system, its application is also based on this thread design, so the DOS application CPU occupancy rate is large, because of the problem of the old DOS architecture, the program does not respond to Windows program fast, so in Windows DOS window operation, Recommend the user's action not so fast, so as not to cause the system response to panic; In addition, the use of Tab+alt switch should also be cautious, not in the program has not completed the current task is forced to switch, causing the panic.

Errors in Windows that do not directly cause physical damage to the hard disk. But these are the problems of using habits, one or two times, for a long time, frequent crash and restart, the hard disk and even the computer's impact of the various accessories accumulated is quite harmful, and frequent crashes easily cause people's psychological impatience, may be in the computer restart before the completion of the anger shutdown, The likelihood of the first type of fatal failure. There are all kinds of not quit the Windows program to shut down, the long time does not clean up the hard drive and do not run ScanDisk (in some common computers, most commonly) and so on bad habits, may be buried hard drive to destroy the root cause.

* Suggested measures: These are the basic things, pay attention to change the use of habits is, such as online anti-virus software, hanging a can, periodically transform other, but at the same time the background is not suitable for running too much. The correct operation of other standards is mentioned in many empirical articles, not much here.

Iv. Other types of unconventional errors

For example, data line plug, bad power caused by the damage, the short circuit and so on, in various newspapers and periodicals sites have many cases, here not one list, their own attention is.

Summarize:

The above mentioned hard disk is not necessarily the case immediately after the failure, but there is a very high probability of damage-you still play the Internet good game today, conveniently shut down, tomorrow without any hint, the system can not find the hard drive. Please control your own practice, pay attention to improvement, maintenance of hard drive with cramming, out of the question to find a way to the attitude is very dangerous, unless your luck is always so good.
