Customer service

Requirements for optimal performance:

•
a stable, virus-free computer
•
a correctly installed operating system
•
cables correctly attached to the hard disk
•
regular execution of the Windows® defragmenter and scandisk programs
to remove sources of error and increase the system performance.
Defragmenting your hard drive can take some time (several hours even on a fast
PC), and you cannot use your PC during this time. It's advised that you leave your
PC defragmenting over night. To defragment your drive in Windows XP:
1. Close down all applications and disable your virus scanner if possible. Also
switch off any screensavers.
2. Click Start and then Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Defragmen-
ter
3. Select a drive and click Analyze.
4. Defragment if your PC recommends it.
ScanDisk is not present in Windows XP. Instead, use Check Disk.
To start Check Disk:
1. Open My Computer, right-click a drive, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, under Error-checking, click Check Now
Sometimes Defragmenter or Scandisk works on 10% or 30% of a hard drive and
then pauses. This is usually caused by Windows programs running in the back-
ground. If this happens, you can prevent Windows from running processes in the
background. To run ScanDisk/Defrag successfully:
1. Go to Start->Run and type msconfig in the Open: box.
2. On the General tab, uncheck all items listed under Selective startup (make
sure that Selective startup is selected).
3. Hit apply and OK and restart Windows. This starts Windows with only the
basics running; This insures nothing will interfere with ScanDisk and Defrag-
menter.
4. Run ScanDisk and Defrag.
5. Go to Start->Run and type msconfig in the Open: box. Select Normal
Startup.
6. Restart Windows.
