Materiali di supporto al Modulo 4 del Percorso Formativo C Risolvere un malfunzionamento vuol dire capirne le cause ed individuare le procedure per rimuoverlo. L'esperienza personale e la possibilità di contare sull'aiuto di chi ha già affrontato problemi analoghi, sono la principale risorsa su cui puoi contare.
I dischi: installazione, partizionamento, clonazione Dispositivi seriali e paralleli Il registro di sistema Il ripristino del sistema operativo L'ultimo aggiornamento di questi materiali è del 2 novembre 2003.
La cassetta degli attrezzi Aprendo un'ideale "cassetta degli attrezzi" (in quella che ci portiamo dietro mancherà sempre qualche cosa!) troveremo: - un po' di "ferramenta"; - un po' di software; - un po' di hardware recuperato da un vecchio PC; - qualche informazione di supporto; - un po' di fortuna :-) La "ferramenta" necessaria si riduce a poche cose: un cacciavite, un paio di pinze, un assortimento di viti e qualche cavallotto (jumper), una pila e una lente di ingrandimento.
Prima esercitazione: riempi la tua cassetta. Procurati i materiali necessari per riempire la tua cassetta degli attrezzi. Seconda esercitazione: un altro sistema operativo Di fronte ad un malfunzionamento di cui non si comprende la causa può essere utile provare ad avviare il PC utilizzando un diverso sistema operativo e verificare il corretto funzionamento dei dispositivi.
Quarta esercitazione: bookmark La rete è ricca di informazioni e costituisce un valido supporto per la risoluzione di molti problemi. Spesso però le risorse reperite non sono disponibili nel momento del bisogno perché ne abbiamo perso le tracce. In questa esercitazione ti viene proposto di creare un indice di risorse internet.
CREARE UN DISCO DOS CON SUPPORTO DEL CDROM 1. Formattare un dischetto trasferendovi i file del sistema operativo. Se si lavora in una finestra DOS utilizzare il comando: FORMAT A: /S 2. Copiare nel dischetto i seguenti file per gestire la memoria. Se si lavora in una finestra DOS utilizzare il comando: COPY C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE A:\ COPY C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS A:\ 3. Copiare nel dischetto i seguenti file per caricare la tastiera italiana.
. Creare il file CONFIG.SYS con i seguenti comandi. Se si lavora in una finestra DOS utilizzare il comando: A>:\ EDIT CONFIG.SYS Comandi da inserire: DOS=HIGH,UMB DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS DEVICE=OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 DEVICE=ASPICD.SYS /D:MSCD001 DEVICE=BTCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 8. Copiare nel dischetto i driver universali per il riconoscimento del CDROM. Normalmente questi driver garantiscono il riconoscimento del lettore CD.
CREARE UN DISCO DI AVVIO CON SUPPORTO NTFS NTFS è il il file system utilizzato da Windows NT/2000/XP. Un disco di avvio creato con il DOS (file system Fat32) non può leggere i dischi e le partizioni NTFS. Qualora sia necessario accedere a queste unità, ad esempio per recuperare dati in caso di mancato avvio del sistema operativo, si può utilizzare il programma NTFS Reader. Questo programma, in parte di uso gratuito, permette di creare un disco di avvio che consente la lettura del file system NTFS.
Per accedere ad una partizione è necessario prima selezionarla, utilizzando i tasti di movimento del cursore, poi confermare con il tasto Invio. In questo modo sulla destra verranno elencate le cartelle e file presenti nel disco. Il tasto TAB consente di passare dalla visualizzare in formato DOS (nomi corti) a quella tipica del file system NTFS (nomi estesi). La combinazione dei tasti CTRL+F consente la ricerca dei file.
L'architettura del computer Un buon esercizio per comprendere l'architettura di un PC è quello di smontare e rimontare i suoi componenti. Aprire un computer non è un'operazione complessa: se si procede con cautela, annotando la posizione delle schede che si smontano, osservando la tipologia dei componenti, la forma e la disposizione dei connettori, procedere al successivo assemblaggio non sarà un'operazione difficile.
Se possiedi un PC funzionante, ma che è stato accantonato perché obsoleto, prova a smontarlo, annota le caratteristiche dei vari componenti, procedi nuovamente all'assemblaggio del computer. Aiutati con la guida "Come si monta un PC" curata dal sito "Hardware Upgrade". Si tratta di un testo un po' datato, ma ancora valido in quanto redatto in modo chiaro ed esaurente.
Microsoft System Information Il programma si avvia utilizzando questo percorso: Start/Programmi/Accessori/Utilità di sistema/System Information Microsoft System Information è organizzato in categorie (la descrizione si riferisce alla versione disponibile in Windows 2000): ● ● Risorse di sistema: vengono visualizzate le informazioni generali relative al computer e alla versione del sistema operativo installato.
● ● Componenti: vengono visualizzate le informazioni relative alla configurazione di Windows e ai dispositivi installati. Le informazioni, raggruppate per categorie (Multimedia, rete, Schermo, ecc.) e consentono fra l'altro di verificare i driver utilizzati da ogni dispositivo. Ambiente software: anche questa voce è organizzata per categorie. Contiene le informazioni sul software caricato nella memoria del computer. È possibile utilizzare queste informazioni per stabilire se un processo è in esecuzione.
La scheda madre e la CPU La scheda madre (motherboard), insieme alla CPU, è il componente fondamentale di un personal computer, in quanto le sue caratteristiche determinano e condizionano le prestazioni complessive del PC. Nonostante la sua importanza la scheda madre è un componente a cui spesso si presta poca attenzione. Scopo di questa unità è quello di approfondire la conoscenza della sua struttura e dei suoi principali componenti (CPU, chipset, memorie, BIOS, connettori).
Utilizza la "Guida alle schede madri" del sito "Hardware Upgrade" per approfondire la conoscenza della struttura e dei principali componenti della scheda madre. Si tratta di un testo un po' datato, ma ancora valido in quanto redatto in modo chiaro ed esaurente. Seconda esercitazione: individuazione dei componenti Questa attività ha lo scopo di verificare la tua capacità di individuare i componenti di una scheda madre.

Il BIOS Il BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) è un componente fondamentale dell'architettura di un computer in quanto, oltre a gestire la fase di avvio, assicura la comunicazione fra il livello il hardware e quello software. Per questa ragione è importante prestare attenzione alla corretta configurazione dei parametri di funzionamento, comprendere i codici e i messaggi generati in caso di errore, conoscere le procedere per il suo aggiornamento.
l'aggiornamento del BIOS e la guida alla configurazione dei parametri. Seconda esercitazione: configurazione dei parametri Per accedere al programma di configurazione del BIOS è necessario premere uno o più tasti quando ha inizio la procedura di avvio del computer (questa informazione è generalmente mostrata a video).
essere reperiti dalla home page del sito BIOS CENTRAL. Verifica alcuni di questi messaggi di errore avviando il PC senza: la scheda video; la memoria; la tastiera. Quarta esercitazione: aggiornare il BIOS (per i più esperti) Le schede madri più recenti dispongono di wizard che facilitano e rendono sicura la procedura di aggiornamento del BIOS (rilevamento della scheda madre, della versione installata, ripristino in caso di fallimento) e che possono essere eseguiti senza uscire dal sistema operativo.
Procedura per aggiornare il BIOS 1. Scarica dal sito del produttore della scheda madre l'aggiornamento del BIOS e l'utility di aggiornamento. 2. Riavvia il sistema. Se la scheda madre supporta l'avvio dell'utility di l'aggiornamento, premi la combinazione di tasti indicata durante la fase di POST (per le schede ASUS ALT + F1). Altrimenti, avvia il PC con un dischetto contenete il sistema operativo e successivamente lancia l'utility di aggiornamento.
3. Il programma ti chiederà se vuoi fare una copia di backup del vecchio BIOS. E' consigliabile rispondere di sì ed inserire un nome per salvarlo. 4. L'utility di aggiornamento procede alla verifica del nuovo BIOS e chiede di confermare la scrittura.
4. Il programma ti chiederà se vuoi fare una copia di backup del vecchio BIOS.
5. Durante la fase di scrittura del nuovo BIOS viene segnalato l'avanzamento del processo e, con un diverso colore, viene evidenziato lo stato dell'update.
5. Quando la procedura è terminata si può riavviare il sistema premendo il tasto indicato dal programma.
Conflitti fra le periferiche L'installazione di un nuovo dispositivo può provocare un conflitto con altri già presenti nel sistema. Si tratta problemi nell'utilizzo delle risorse che vengono segnalati in "Gestione delle Periferiche" da un punto esclamativo. Per risolvere il conflitto è necessario modificare le risorse che la periferiche utilizza.
L'IRQ è utilizzato da molti dispositivi per segnalare una richiesta alla CPU. Quando un dispositivo invia un segnale IRQ il processore interrompe ogni attività per occuparsi di quella richiesta. La maggior parte dei componenti di un PC, le schede di espansione e molte periferiche utilizzano gli IRQ. Nel bus di un PC ci sono 16 IRQ ed ognuno può essere utilizzato ad un solo dispositivo alla volta.
Il sistema di configurazione plug end paly ha cambiato la tradizionale assegnazione degli IRQ ai dispositivi realizzandola in modo dinamico. Per controllare le effettive assegnazioni degli interrupt è necessario consultare l'apposito controllo in "Gestione delle Periferiche". Confronta gli IRQ usati dai tuoi dispositivi con la tabella delle assegnazioni standard. Verifica come alcune di queste siano immodificabili perché assegnate dal sistema.
Utilizza "Gestione delle Risorse" per visualizzare l'assegnazione dei canali DMA. La scheda audio, il controller del floppy, la porta stampante ECP (LPT1) sono alcuni dei dispositivi che fanno uso dei canali DMA. Quarta esercitazione: assegnazione delle porte I/O Utilizza "Gestione delle Periferiche" per visualizzare gli indirizzi delle porte Input/Output utilizzate dalla tua scheda madre. Come è facile notare le porte I/O in realtà sono degli intervalli di indirizzi.

L'aggiornamento dei driver Ogni dispositivo collegato al computer, sia esso un componente del sistema (schede di espansione, dischi, lettore CDROM, ecc.) o una periferica collegata ad una porta del PC (mouse, scanner, stampante, ecc.), per interagire con il sistema operativo deve essere controllato da un apposito software, il driver. Ad esempio, il driver del mouse traduce i movimenti e le azioni del mouse in comandi interpretabili dal sistema operativo.
I driver, come qualsiasi altro software, sono soggetti ad aggiornamenti finalizzati a correggere eventuali errori presenti nelle precedenti versioni o a fornire il supporto per aggiornamenti del sistema operativo. Quando si acquista un dispositivo, soprattutto se di recente commercializzazione, è bene controllare se nel sito del produttore siano presenti driver più aggiornati rispetto a quelli che troviamo nella confezione.
Quando si ricerca un driver è importante sapere esattamente il codice del prodotto che stiamo cercando. Se il dispositivo non è stato correttamente installato le informazioni fornite da "Gestione delle Periferiche" non sono utilizzabili. In questo caso bisogna utilizzare un software di diagnostica o, meglio ancora, verificare le informazioni direttamente sul componente che si vuole installare. Nel caso si tratti di una scheda interna è bene aprire il PC e rimuoverla.
Quando il dispositivo che vogliamo installare non è di recente fabbricazione può risultare difficile trovare i driver. O perché il produttore non supporta più il prodotto o perché non è più rintracciabile il fabbricante. In questi casi sono di grande aiuto le raccolte di driver che si possono reperire in Internet. Solitamente si tratta di archivi nei quali è possibile prelevare gratuitamente il software. A volte è necessario procedere ad una registrazione che quasi sempre è senza oneri.
DAL PRODUTTORE AL CODICE DEL PRODOTTO 1. Osservando questa scheda video si può facilmente risalire al produttore. 2. Nel sito Internet del produttore è possibile rintracciare le istruzioni per individuare il codice del prodotto.
3. Pertanto dovremo utilizzare i driver per la scheda Millenium G200.
DALL'IDENTIFICAZIONE DI UN COMPONENTE AL PRODUTTORE 1. Se non si riesce ad individuare il produttore della scheda si possono esaminare i suoi componenti. 2. Come è facile osservare questa scheda di rete utilizza il cipset RTL8029AS, uno dei più diffusi per le schede di rete prodotto dalla Realtek.
3. Dal sito della Realtek dovremo quindi scaricare i driver per le schede di rete RTL8029AS.
Il registro di sistema Il "Registro di sistema" contiene le informazioni necessarie al funzionamento di Windows (informazioni su software, periferiche installate, profili degli utenti, personalizzazioni al sistema, ecc...). L'editor del registro è lo strumento che consente di visualizzare il contenuto del registro di sistema e di apportavi delle modifiche. Si avvia selezionando "Esegui" dal menu Start e scrivendo nella finestra di dialogo "regedit". Il registro di sistema è organizzato in modo gerarchico.
● ● ● software installati HKEY_USERS: informazioni sul desktop e le configurazioni relative agli utenti che utilizzano il computer. HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG: informazioni sull'hardware corrente. HKEY_DYN_DATA: informazioni sui dispositivi plug and play. Prima esercitazione: esegui il backup del registro di sistema Prima di modificare il Registro di sistema è bene farne una copia. Procedi in questo modo: ● ● ● avvia l'editor del registro di sistema; seleziona la voce "esporta file del Registro...
Per avviare il controllo del registro basta fare doppio clic su RegClean. Comparirà questa schermata Se al termine della scansione vengono riscontrati degli errori, viene visualizzato il tasto FIX ERRORS, che consente la correzione automatica del registro. Il programma salva automaticamente, nella cartella da cui è stato lanciato, una copia del registro che può essere utilizzata per recuperare le modifiche apportate. La procedura di recupero è molto semplice: basta un doppio click sul file.
