System Manager - Storage

Diy-Computer-Repair can help!

Storage is broken down into three parts: Removable Storage, Disk Defragmenter, and Disk Management.

Removable Storage is any media that you can remove from the system while it is operating including but not limited to: CD's, Tapes, external drives. If you want to use this tool you can categorize your cd's, make 'pools' for them. If you have a tape drive attached to your computer this is the tool you would use if you do not have a third party backup program installed. This tool along with the built in backup program will allow you to catalog, erase, and test your tapes.

Removable Storage

Disk Defragmenter is a process that will defrag your hard drive(s). This tool is used to defrag your volumes. It is fairly easy to use and is of moderate quality, most third party defrag programs will do a better job but after all it is free. As you can see from the graphic the drive should be defraged because the files in red are fragmented. Defragmentiing your drive will increase the performance when opening or closing files.

Disk Management is where you find the properties of a drive, or partition, format, change drive letters of a drive. With this tool you can: create a partition, create a volume, change a drive letter, delete a volume, delete a partition, or format a drive. You can also use this program to get the properties of a particular drive. It has some low level information that the propitiates of a drive from 'My Computer' doesn't have such as the manufacture, the bios name of the drive, and some drive characteristics. A very handy tool

And one last thing, as with most [using this term loosely] Microsoft products putting the mouse pointer in some white space, and pressing F1 will bring up help.
