Running Windows Disk DefragmenterBacking Up Data Files

Running Windows Disk Defragmenter

Dell recommends that you run Microsoft's Disk Defragmenter at least every other month. This utility reorganizes the contents of your hard-disk drive for more efficient file access, increasing the speed of drive operations and extending the life of your drive. Refer to your Windows documentation for instructions on running Disk Defragmenter.

Backing Up Data Files

To avoid data loss, regularly back up the data files on the hard-disk drive. Dell recommends that you back up the hard-disk drive at least once a week, with a daily backup of those files that have been changed.

  NOTE: In case of warranty replacement of your hard-disk drive, you receive a blank, formatted drive from Dell. It is your responsibility to reinstall applications programs and restore data files.
