Platters: A platter is a physical object inside the hard drive that is responsible for storing the data. A platter is similar to a record on an old record player, the main difference being that a hard disk has many platters, while a record player holds only one record at a time.

Tracks: Just as there are grooves, or tracks, on a music record, there are also tracks on each platter. These trackes are evenly spaced across the platter’s surface.

Sectores: The platter is divided into pie-shaped slices, called sectors, Now the confusing thing about sectors is that where a track intersects with a sector creates sectorblocks, also known as sectores! Each sector is 512 bytes in size.

Installing IDE – SATA hard drive:
We will give you an idea how to install an IDE or SATA hard drive. Because all hard drives are different. We present only the most popular solutions for installing hard drives.
First, you want to open up the casing of the computer and find an empty bay to mount the new hard disk into. if you are removing the old hard drive, you will be able to use the same bay. However, if you are adding a hard drive, you have to find an empty bay and mount the drive in place. Second, you slide the drive in the bay so that the power connector and ribbon cable connector are facing the motherboard. After you have mounted the drive in place, as a third step, connect the IDE connector on the motherboard to the IDE connector on the hard disk with a 40-wire IDE ribbon cable and then connect a power connector to the drive. The question is: How do you know which pin is pin 1? Hopefully, the manufacturer has indicated Pin 1 by placing a small (1) near it. if you look at the connector on the hard drive and on the motherboard, you may see a small (1) on one end of the connector. That’s where you need to place a (40) by Pin 40 instead of displaying where Pin 1 is, so watch for that as well. After you have connected the IDE ribbon cable, you want to give the hard disk power from the power supply so that you can run the motor in the drive.

Hard drive crashed or failed: The hard drive could fail at any time even if it a brand new one. Sometimes, the computer freezes or crashes at least one time a day. This crash could be the first sign that the hard drive will be failed soon. In this case, the first thing to do is “data back up“. the second sign, when Windows takes long time to load more than usual. The third sign, when you get the blue screen of death with error code shows on the screen. The blue screen of death is related to hard drive failure, memory, video card, motherboard or software problem.

Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SODIMMs) are memory modules that are smaller than normal DIMMs and are used in laptops. It comes in three different size: a 32-bit 72 pin module; a 64-bit 144 pin module; a 64-bit 200 pin module.

To install your newly purchased memory, flip the laptop over. You’ll notice a door on the bottom of the laptop that can be removed. This is where you add memory.

After the cover has been removed, you can insert the SODIMM into an empty slot by lightly placing the SODIMM into the memory slot on a slight angle and then clamping it back into place. If you are replacing memory, you will need to first remove the old memory module by pressing on the clips on the side and then lifting the memory out.

When you have the SODIMM locked in place, put the cover back on and you’re ready to use your laptop with the new memory!

The speed of the memory such as DIMM and SODIMM, is measured in MHz. If you are buying DDR or DDR2 memory, make sure you verify that you get the correct memory speed. The system documentation can help you determine the speed of memory needed. If you don’t have the documentation, be sure to look up the information on the manufacturer’s Web site.

• Spyware sometimes called adware collects information about you without appropriate notice and consent.
• A computer virus spreads software, usually malicious in nature, from computer to computer.
Spyware can get installed on your computer in a number of ways. One way is through a virus. Another way is for it to be secretly downloaded and installed with other software you’ve chosen to install.

In short, spyware is a specific type of unwanted software that secretly collects your information.

A virus is a specific way software can be secretly distributed, often by e-mail or instant messaging.

Both spyware and viruses can cause damage to your computer or cause you to lose important data.

To help protect against spyware, try Windows Defender. Windows Defender is built into Windows Vista. To help protect against viruses, try antivirus software.

Steps to help avoid viruses:
1.Use an Internet firewall.
Note: Windows Vista and Windows XP with SP2 has a firewall already built-in and turned on by default.
2.Visit Microsoft Update to verify your settings and check for updates.
Note: If you’ve installed the most recent version of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Update will also update your Office programs.
3.Subscribe to antivirus software and keep it current.
4.Never open an e-mail attachment from someone you don’t know.
5.Avoid opening an e-mail attachment from someone you know, unless you know exactly what the attachment is. The sender may be unaware that it contains a virus.
6.Use a standard user account unless you need to use an Administrator Account. For more information, see Why use a standard user account instead of an administrator account.
What about spyware?
Although spyware programs are different from viruses, some can behave like viruses and pose similar and other risks. To help protect against spyware, use antispyware software such as Windows Defender. Windows Defender comes with Windows Vista. If you use Windows XP SP2, you can download Windows Defender for no charge.
