Brother's tricks in Windows, which misuse will damage the hard disk

Generally speaking, the current hard disk has added SMART's automatic detection technology, so that users can see the precursor before the fatal failure occurs, back up the data —— but this is Designed for normal operating conditions, if the user's usage is listed below, the failure may occur without warning, that is, sudden death.

First, suddenly power off the power at boot and shutdown

The current power supply and motherboard ATX design, the universal realization of the soft shutdown function. This design is very convenient. However, the soft shutdown must first complete a series of operations to close the running program, plus the compatibility of various operating systems and motherboard manufacturers, BUG, ​​Windows often crashes when shutting down the application and then cutting off the power. You may have seen in many forums and newspapers and magazines in the Q&A column, "Why is the problem of crashing during soft shutdown" —— at this time, the reset action of the hard disk is probably not completed yet, if the user uses forced disconnection The practice of power supply, the possibility of physical damage to the hard disk is very large.

*The correct way: If there is a crash during the soft shutdown, you should press the RESET button, let the system re-enter Windows, and then officially complete the shutdown operation —— this may be cumbersome, but can guarantee The hard disk is safely reset. For your hard disk of thousands of dollars, security is the first.

There is also the power cut off when booting up: of course, no one will do such a boring operation under normal conditions, but when there are some such as display cards or memory is not plugged in, the video cable is loose. In the case that the computer is turned on without display, many people are only immersed in getting the problems they see, frequent booting, shutdown, plugging and unplugging the card, and then booting... but not paying attention to the hard disk in the power supply.呻吟 m m & mdash; & mdash; especially the boot does not show, only a few seconds, the initialization of the hard disk has not been completed, the head is in a sensitive position, suddenly shut down the power supply, and then in less than 10 seconds The condition of the clock is again affected by the current, and the probability of failure is greatly increased.

* Suggest the correct way: first unplug the power cord of the hard drive, you can play it. After the troubleshooting, it is not too late.

Second, the misoperation of the partition

This is indeed a newcomer's mistakes mostly — — various versions of Windows cause FAT16, FAT32, NTFS various formats exist, different The task led to the rookie's eagerness to change the partition format. Now GHOST and PQ partition masters can do whatever they want with the partition to adjust the size and format of the partition. In particular, the latter also has the function of formatting partitions and hiding partitions. For those who are familiar with the operation, these tools are handy; but for novices, the operation of the partition should be especially cautious. Because the partition error is a soft fault, not a physical fault, but if the random operation fails, without thinking about the basic concept, without thinking about the "recovery" operation, it may lead to the boot area and partition of the partition. The table is too confusing to be recognized by any tool software —— if you don't have a partition table and hard disk boot area data backup, hey, you have to format the &mdash low-level; — low-level formatting tools are also skilled and knowledgeable. The question of whether or not, I have seen a lot of cases in which the new hard disk can no longer be used due to misoperation of the partition.

*Recommended measures: Whether you are a veteran or a novice, when you are sensitive to the hard disk, you can back up the partition table and boot area data, and you can restore it at any time when you make a mistake. It is best for a novice to hire a master, first bring a band, familiar with the software interface and instructions and then operate it yourself. After all, the hard disk is different from other accessories, and there is your valuable data.
