【 Weak current College 】 unreasonable software used on the hard drive's injury

Hard drive is the most important computer storage media, on the hard drive maintenance, believe that every computer user. However, the previous articles are for single users of dial-up era, with the increasing popularity in the broadband, large hard drive continuous price today, many people turn on the computer will have a hard drive full load operation: see high-definition movies, DVDRip conduct an ongoing BT download, use the system restore feature of Windows ... However, you may not know, these new new software, and will bring new damage the hard drive!
New application models bring hidden dangers
1, encoding error DVDRip
Now online from DVD DVDRip transcription compressed format movies is quite popular. This format of movie and DVD comparable, but download a movie only 700MB ~ 1.3GB size, so many users like to download DVDRip format movies to your hard drive slowly. However, play this format movies on system has high requirements: in addition to the CPU, video card requires strong enough to ensure that the playback is smooth, hard disk load is very high – because the play is a DVDRip constantly decoding uncompressed, then transfer to the show system processes. The authors found that, in the face of a coding error DVDRip file, the Windows disk usage is very high: the system constantly want to convert the encoding of the video signal, but coding error file indexing and appropriate signal segment is not matching — at this point, the hard drive light is flashing constantly, the entire system on the user's actions in response to the extremely slow, the user clicks on the menu but almost no reaction. If an encoding error more, sometimes even panic. Many users are very impatient at this time, press the RESET button on the chassis or even direct power off the computer, the hard disk head is not properly reset, this operation is very dangerous!
Small Tip: WindowsXP users need to pay particular attention, when we automatically preview the WindowsXP somelarge such as ASF, WMV files, although no formal play, but will also appear suddenly slow computer speed, the hard drive light flashes continuously; the culprit is still a video file error code!
2, Bittorrent downloads
Bittorrent download is the broadband era emerging P2Pjiao swap file mode, share resources between the various users to each other when the seeds and hops, commonly known as the BT download. Since each user of the download and upload almost simultaneously, so the download speed is very fast. However, it will download data directly into the hard drive (not like FlashGet, download tool you can adjust the cache, to a specified amount of data is written to the hard disk), so the hard disk usage than FTP download more!
In addition, BT download the prior to request a hard-disk space to download large files, there are generally 2 to 3 minutes for the entire system of priority were to apply for space occupied by the task, other tasks to respond very slowly. Some people in order to make full use of bandwidth, but also simultaneously several BT download tasks, you will very likely to occur because the disk usage is too high, causing the death machine failure.
Therefore, unless your computer's hardware configuration is high (particularly memory, at least in 1GB above), BT download the improvements in the past, if you want to make long, multi-tasking application to download, it is using the traditional FTP software.
3, the conversion of dangerous PQMAGIC
PQMAGIC is the famous partition magic, can not destroy data freely adjust the partition size and format. However, PQMAGIC has just launched, usually the user's hard drive is about, and now 2GB 60 ~ 80GB hard drive is seen everywhere, PQMAGIC early elaborated: adjust zone data, the partition above 5GB typically need more than 1 hour!
In addition to capacity factors, PQMAGIC adjustment hard disk partition, considerable time was spent the validation data and detect the hard drive, you can see, in this case "nondestructive partition" is difficult to ensure that because of the speed of conversion is very slow, it's time-consuming, conversion adjustment process is very easy because the computer or computer, and other factors causing data loss. Such losses are often one or several partitions, lost, or the capacity becomes abnormal, serious or even an entire hard drive cannot read the data.
4. hard disk protection software anomalies
Easy hard drive causing abnormal, and hard disk protection software. For example, the "restore the Elves", because many people do not pay attention to reinstall the system or repartition and normal uninstall before it tends to occur in the system is not fully installed. You then want to install and uninstall the "restore the Elves", but prompt software already installed, can't go into an endless loop. This failure is due to "restore the Elves" has taken over the INT13 before the operating system control the hard disk boot, use the FDISK/MBR command cannot fix. Originally, this is just a software failure, but many inexperienced, a problem will find a variety of partitioning tool "test", or even lightly low-level format, in such a toss, the hard drive is likely to die prematurely.
5. Frequently defragment disk fragmentation
Disk defragmentation and system restore would Windows provide the functionality, however if you frequently do these actions, on the hard disk is not harmful. Disk defragment to hard disk low-level analysis, determine which data can be moved, what data cannot be moved, and then sorts the files. In formal arrangements for hard drive data structure, it will keep random read write data to a different cluster, good order and then put the data back to the proper location, these actions will consume large amounts of CPU and disk resources. In fact, now the large hard drive, the document and mail takes up very little space, most people buy a larger hard drive is used toLoading movie and music, the partition isnot required frequent consolidation — because the effects of playing multimedia files and the disk structure is no relationship, the playback speed is determined by the video card and CPU.
6, automatic restart of WindowsXP
WindowsXP-automatic restart feature can automatically close unresponsive process automatically exits the illegal actions of the program, thus reducing user action steps. However, this function also has a very big problem: it will automatically restart before shutting down the hard drive power, in time to restart the machine and then open the hard drive power!, the hard drive in less than 10 second intervals, subject to current two impact, is likely to occur suddenly "death". In order to save some energy to let the system automatically turns off hard drives are more harm than good.
