First, the BIOS optimization related items

BIOS on hard drives efficiency play a crucial role, for example because the motherboard BIOS problems lead to identification of large capacity hard drive, UltraATA/66/100 hard drive, it's not a big waste?

1.StandardCMOSSetup

Here mainly to hard disk mode and type, we will see the following common work modes: NORMAL, LBA, LARGE as well as AUTO. Here, it is recommended that you first select the "AUTO", convenient and secure. In addition, in the "TYPE", it will be set to "User", this can save the system detected hard disk parameters of time, speed up the startup speed.

2.BIOSFeaturesSetup

Proposed "BootSequence" entry is set to "COnly", so you can skip the detection of the floppy drive and boot the system directly from the hard drive, saving test time or you can avoid a floppy disk for viruses invade the system.

"IDEHDDBlockMode" is used to set the IDE device block mode the number of sectors, set to "Enabled", so that you can use to pass data block mode, increase the speed of accessing the hard disk.

2. hard drive interface mode optimization

Although the hard disk technology development are not as fast as the CPU frequency increase, but now the mainstream is the hard disk is full with UltraATA/66/100 interface technology, so if you want to fully exploit the performance of your hard disk, open the UltraATA/66/100 mode is essential. Because of the media in Windows9x/Me open UltraATA66/100 mode has introduced many, therefore here only for Windows2000/XP for some presentations:
1.Intel series motherboard

Install the Intel chipset drivers, although the system has correctly recognized the hard disk controller and the hard drive models, but this time the hard disk interface mode but will drop level use, i.e. UltraATA 66/100/will drop to the UltraATA/66/33, must then be installed IntelUltraATAStorgae driver, from the "Companion" window you can see more information, said by default DefaultTransferMode transport mode, the current state of use CurrentTransferMode transport mode.

2.VIA series motherboard

Amazingly, although the Windows2000/XP can correctly identify the model of your hard disk, install the VIA 4-in-one driver package, although the system has correctly recognized the hard disk controller "VIABUSMasterPCIIDEController", but "PrimmaryIDEController (dualfifo)" and "SecondaryIDEController (dualfifo) are still using the Microsoft default driver, and you do not like VIADMATool Windows9x/Me as UDMA device under the take over, so if the hard disk is UltraATA 66/100/, it will drop to UltraATA/66/33, friends can? *** WINFO32 view.

To solve this problem, my friends can download from the driver's home via published IDEMiniportDriver, installation can "VIABusMasterPCIIDEUtility" clear hard drive current interface mode, and you can also manually switch.
Correct use of the hard disk with bad track repair

Disk usage for a long time, there is a wide variety of issues that may arise, and the hard disk "bad road" is the most common problems. If you and replacement warranty, you can add hard drives get vendor source replacement, but after a three-stage and? here is the author of some of the hard drive maintenance, hoping you repair the hard drive.

A, a hard disk has bad road threatened

Hard disk bad road into logical bad road and physical bad track two, the former is soft bad road, typically the software operation or improper use, available software repair; the latter is a real physical bad road, it indicates that your hard disk tracks on physical injury, can only change hard disk partition, or the use of the sector. The following conditions maybe your hard disk has bad track:

First, you open, run or copy a file to hard disk operations slower, and potentially lengthy operation is not successful or performance for a long time dead "crunching" in a particular region or both hard disk read disk noise, or simply Windows prompted "unable to read or write to the file", which can indicate that a part of your hard disk has bad road.

Secondly, each boot, Scandisk disk programs run automatically, sure that your hard disk is necessary to fix important bugs, such as bad road. You are running the program if you cannot successfully passed, the hard disk must have a bad track. Although, of course, the scanning, but can also be a red flag "B", indicating that its bad road.

Third, the computer starts, the hard disk does not boot with the floppy disk or CD to see hard disk drive but not on the operation or operations will be carried out incorrectly or simply see the letter, the hard disk may appear a bad road. Specific features such as a post process, the ScreenTip "HarddIskdrivefailure "" Harddrivecontrollerfailure "or similar information, you can determine the hard disk drive or hard disk controller hardware failure; read and write to the hard disk tip" Sectornotfound "or" GeneralerrorinreadingdriveC "and other similar error message, it means that hard disk tracks a physical injury.

Finally, the computer is in normal operation the panic or "the file is corrupted" and other issues that may and hard disk bad road.

2. hard disk bad road maintenance

Scandisk disk scanning program is to solve hard disk logical bad track the most frequently used tools, and our common format command is not available on any hard disk bad track to effect repairs, which we need to understand. If the hard disk has bad road, we may in the Windows system environment, in the "my computer", select the drive letter of the hard disk, select the "Properties" in the "Tools" button, select the "status" error-checking, click check "start", choose "scan type" a "comprehensive review", and "auto fix" on the "check", then "start" you can, it would be hard to do a full scan disc surface, and on the possible bad cluster do automatic correction. Secondly, in DOS, the hard disk has bad road, the computer starts normally automatically run Scandisk is scanned, and bad cluster in black red for the "B" (bad). Of course, if the system startup without disk scanning or can no longer access Windows system, we can also use a floppy disk or CD boot disk to start the computer, in the appropriate drive letter, such as "A: run Scandisk" *: (Note: * to scan hard drive letter), carriage return later on the need to scan fix hard disk partition for repairs.

Other such as Norton Toolbox NDD "disk doctors" and Pctools, related tools to scan your hard disk to repair the hard disk is bad road the most commonly used method, its usage is very simple, many newspapers have introduced, we can find to try.

If the hard disk has failed to repair bad clusters or physical bad road, we can use some disk software will these bad road separate into an area and hidden, so you can make your hard drive for long life.

Method 1: If a hard drive in 2G 4.3G have serious physical bad road, format format for down, Scandisk or NDD detection also pass, but the normal partition. To format a partition, use software SmartFdisk boot the computer, enter the letter A: run the software, perform file SFdisk.EXE; then delete (DEL), the original partition, figure out the bad road in the location on your hard disk. As in the example, first establish the basic 1990M, quick formatted partition and activates it, and then the bad road discipline about 50M of logical partitions, and then adds the remaining hard disk space as a logical area use quick format feature will be its quick format; then will the bad road 50M about the zone delete (DEL) off. Then restart, a serious physical bad track hard drive will quickly be repaired, then heads won't go read those deleted bad road area.

Method 2: use the Windows system partition with Fdisk. For example a 1 g hard drive, in a format to a 10% cannot successfully passed, then press CTRL + Break to run Fdisk, forcibly terminate a 90M DOS partition c disk, and then establish a 20M logical disk D, then the remaining 800 M E a logical disk. Exit Fdisk and then run the formatE:, if that to 10% and obstacles, then use Fdisk to create an e-tray, 88M 10M of F, the remaining 790M as G disk. Continue to repeat the operation until the finish. Then, run the Fdisk will 10M of D, F disk delete when the remaining is not bad road good disc.

Method three: Likewise, use PartitionMagic, DiskManager, disk software to complete this work. Such as PartitionMagic partition software, first with the "check in PartitionMagic4" command or the Windows disk scanning program to scan disk, figure out the bad cluster on the hard disk, and then select the Operations menu under the "Advanced/badSectorRetest"; the bad clusters where the hard disk into multiple zones, and then the bad clusters the partition hidden to prevent mistaken operation in Windows, this function is passed the HidePartition menu item. This also guarantees that there are serious bad track of normal hard drive, and dispense system frequently to read and write bad road extending bad road area.

The system displays "TRACK0BAD, DISKUNUSABLE", meaning "zero track damage the hard drive will not be able to use" or other disk scanning program to scan your hard disk when the 0 sector has a red "B". Hard drive 0 sectors damaged, we compare the headache of failure, most people often appears that failed for scrap processing. In fact, reasonable use some disk software, to scrap the 0 sector shield off, and 1 slice instead will be able to bring the effect, such software as Pctools9.0 and NU8, etc.

Method one: we have a case study in Pctools9.0 for instructions. A hard drive failure occurs above 2.1G, start with a spare computer, run the DE.EXE Pctools9.0 directory. Then choose the main menu Select the Drive in, went in after the Drivetype keySelected Physical, space, and then press the tab key to switch to harddisk Drives, select, and then OK to return to the main menu after carriage returns. Open the Select menu that appears, select the PartitionTable entry after a hard disk partition table information. The hard disk has two partitions, locate the C zone, the partition is 0 cylinder from the hard disk to start, then, will the 1 partition BeginningCylinder 0 to 1, save, and then quits. Restart the computer after you press DEL to enter setup, run "COMS IDEAUTODETECT", you can see from 781 782 become CYLS. Save exit after partition to format the hard disk so that it comes back.

Method two: Norton NU8.0 also better. For example a 1.28G hard disk 0 track failures, enter NU8 Toolkit directory, run the main program, and then start NORTON.EXE selected "RESCUE remedy disc" option on the hard drive's boot sector, partition table, and other information for backup. Then choose "disk editor DISKEDIT", successfully run after selected OBJECT "object," selected "partition table" visible this hard disk parameters are as follows: surface SIDE of 0-63, cluster CYLINDER is 0-255, sector SECTOR 1-63, the master boot record and partition table information should be in the 0-0-1 sectors. We want to do is put the C disk starting sector 0 from 0-1 slice column to 0-1-1 slice, move cursor manually modifying. In addition to that is, changes value according to the specific circumstances of the case. Last filed after the exit to restart the computer, use the format command to format the hard drive you can normally use. Special attention is required, fix hard drive must not use DOS Fdisk and other partitioning tool to repartition the hard drive of their change of the starting cylinder.

If the above tips don't work, then you have to use the motherboard comes with hard drive low cell program or hard drive manufacturers with spare complimentary low cell program such as DM, Lformat, etc. on the hard disk completely low-level format processing, it can be on the hard disk of some bad road to rearrange excluded.
