Disk Defragmentation
A defragmentation utility is included with Windows 2000. Several vendors sell
this utility as well such as DiskKeeper. Make certain you defragment your disk
drives on a periodic basis. You must close all programs before beginning. The
process can take a long time. We will not do this here.
Creating an Emergency Repair Disk
You should create an emergency repair disk as soon as possible. Use this disk if
your system files are damaged or your computer won't start. The disk includes
system settings such as registry files, disk partitions, and installed devices. Make
a new repair disk every time you make changes to your hardware or software.
Emergency Repair Disks are specific for each computer.
