Basic disk partitions added to the system do not appear in the Disk Management volume list view. Reason: in

Finding ways to make the hard disk more efficient and "service" for us for a long time has always been the tireless efforts and pursuit of our computer players! To achieve this goal, we must first learn to considerately manage and maintain the hard disk; When it comes to the management and maintenance of hard disks, many people will probably dismiss such an old topic! In fact, the management and maintenance of hard disks is not as simple as we imagined. Its management is actually as unfathomable as the management of computers. This is not the case, from the soft part below, to contribute a few hard drive fresh management skills, I believe you will have a bright feeling!

Disk management improves performance

After frequently performing some data deletion operations and saving operations on the hard disk, or frequent installation and uninstall operations of some programs, some logical chaos will often occur on the hard disk. This phenomenon may not affect the current file access. Operation, but it will significantly reduce the efficiency of data reading and writing, and if it is serious, it can also affect the security of file storage. In fact, when we accidentally encounter the logical chaos of the hard disk, we can use the system error checking function of the Windows system to correct the logical chaos of the hard disk in time to ensure the access of the hard disk when accessing data in the future. Speed is not affected. When correcting the logical chaos of the hard disk, we may wish to follow the steps below: First, double-click the "My Computer" icon on the system desktop with the mouse, and then find the corresponding target hard disk in the subsequent window. Disk partition symbol, right-click the partition icon, and execute the "Properties" command of the shortcut menu to open the parameter setting window of the corresponding hard disk; then click the "Tools" tab in the parameter setting window to enter the The option setting page shown in Figure 1, click the "Start Checking" button at "Error Checking" of the setting page, and then in the "Check Disk" setting box that pops up, select the "Automatically fix file system errors" checkbox and " Scan and try to recover bad sectors "check box, and then click the" Start "button, so that the Windows system will automatically correct the logical chaos in the hard disk. Once the error correction operation is completed, we will correct the error again. When you specify the hard disk for data reading and writing, you will feel that the data reading and writing speed is significantly faster.

Disk management recovery icon

When inserting a removable hard disk into a Windows 2003 computer system, we sometimes don't see the partition icon of the removable hard disk in the system's "My Computer" window, but we can see "Safely Remove Hardware" in the lower right of the system tray "Icon, the system will also pop up a prompt to safely remove the removable disk after clicking this command, so why ca nt the system display the partition icon of the removable hard disk in the" My Computer "window, and how can we resume the move? What about the partition icon of the hard disk? In fact, the above phenomenon is that in order to improve the security of the server, the Windows 2003 system places some restrictions on the partition symbol of the mobile hard disk. Considering that the Windows 2003 system has recognized the mobile hard disk, but did not assign a suitable partition symbol to it, we can start from the computer management window to manually assign a suitable partition symbol to the target mobile hard disk. The following is the specific Operation steps: After the removable hard disk is correctly inserted into the Windows 2003 computer system, right-click the "My Computer" icon in the system desktop, as shown in Figure 2; in the list area on the left side of the management window, expand one by one "Storage" and "Disk Management" branch items. In the list area on the right side of the corresponding "Disk Management" item, we will see that there are two types of disks in the local system, where disk 0 represents the local hard disk and disk 1 represents the mobile Hard disk; right-click the disk 1 icon directly, click the "change drive letter and path" command from the shortcut menu that appears, and then click the "Add" button in the interface to add a new hard disk The partition symbol, and finally click the "OK" button, so that we will enter the " Computer "When the window, find the mobile hard disk icon finally appeared.

Disk management entry window

Every time we access the data on the mobile hard disk, we will use the method of double-clicking the hard disk partition icon to enter the root directory window of the mobile hard disk in order to access the contents of the target file; but sometimes we double-click the mobile hard disk icon and the system is unable to enter To the root directory window of the mobile hard disk, so why is this strange phenomenon happening, how can we quickly enter the mobile hard disk window? In fact, there are many reasons for not being able to quickly enter the root directory window of the mobile hard disk, except for the network In addition to the virus factor, we think that the main thing is that the services related to the mobile storage device are accidentally set up incorrectly. In order to improve the opening speed of the root directory window of the mobile hard disk, we should first use the latest version of the antivirus software to perform a thorough virus killing operation on the system. If no virus is found, then we need to modify the system related services according to the following steps: Consider The "Removable Storage" service is related to the reading and writing of mobile hard disk data. If the system service is accidentally stopped, the speed of opening the root directory window of the mobile hard disk will be significantly affected. When modifying the working status of "Removable Storage", we may wish to click the "Start" / "Settings" / "Control Panel" command in sequence to open the system's control panel window, then double-click the "Administrative Tools" icon, and then double-click on it The "Service" icon in the rear interface opens the system service list window; right-click the "Removable Storage" option and execute the "Properties" command in the right-click menu to enter the property setting window of the corresponding service; in this window " In the "General" option setting page, we can easily check the working status of the "Removable Storage" service at this time (as shown in Figure 3). If it is found that the system service is stopped unexpectedly, then we directly click the "Start" button and change the startup type of the service to "Automatic", then click "OK" to restart the "Removable Storage" system service . After that, when we double-click the removable hard disk icon again to try to enter the root directory window of the removable hard disk, I believe that the window's opening speed will be significantly improved.

Extended disk management

Whenever you search for a file on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP computer system, the system may pop up a prompt to "make future searches faster". If we answer yes, the Windows system will automatically Enable the file index function, so that even if the computer system is in standby in the future, the file index function will still automatically index the contents of the hard disk, so that the hard disk should not be effectively "rested" during the "rest" period In the long run, the hard disk usage period will definitely be affected. In order to extend the life of the hard disk as much as possible, we must promptly reject the file indexing function of the system, in order to prevent the function from overworking the hard disk, which affects the life of the hard disk: First, right-click My Computer "Icon, execute the" Manage "command from the pop-up shortcut menu, open the computer management window of the local system, and expand the" Services and Applications "/" Services "branch items in the list area on the left side of the window; In the list area on the right side of the "Service" item, find the "Indexing Service" option, and then double-click the option with the left mouse button to open the parameter setting interface of the "Indexing Service" system service; click the "General" tab in this interface , Enter the label setting page as shown in Figure 4. On the "Service Status" page, we can clearly see the running status of the "Indexing Service" system service at this time. If you see that the service is already running at this time, we may wish to click on the page in Figure 4 "Stop" button, so that the "Indexing Service" service will be forcibly closed, so that the file indexing function will not automatically index the hard disk content when the system is in standby in the future!

Disk management increases speed

Generally speaking, once the hard disk is not in a proper working mode, its data transmission speed will be significantly affected when the hard disk is working. So how do we know that the hard disk's working mode is correct at this time? In fact, it is very simple. We can view and modify the hard disk's working mode by following the steps below: First, click "Settings" in the "Start" menu of the system one by one "," Control Panel "command, double-click the" System "icon in the window that pops up to open the system property setting interface of the local computer, click the" Hardware "tab in this interface, and click on the option page Click the "Device Manager" button to enter the system device list window; then expand the "IDE ATA / ATAPI Controller" / "Main IDE Channel" branch item, then double-click the "Main IDE Channel" item with the mouse, and then click The "Advanced Settings" tab in the interface, in the corresponding option setting page, we can view the working mode of the hard disk at this time, as shown in Figure 5; if we can not find the hard disk working mode according to the previous operation, Mostly, the VIA IDE Miniport Driver is installed on the local computer; at this time, we just click the lower right of the system tray The "VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Utility" shortcut icon in the window that appears you can find information on the hard disk mode. If you see that the working mode of the hard disk is not set correctly, the data transmission speed of the hard disk will naturally be affected. At this time, we can restart the system to enter the BIOS setting interface and set the parameters of the hard disk working mode correctly, so that the hard disk transmission speed can be obtained. Effectively improve. Considering that the hard disk capacity is relatively large, and large-capacity hard disks often work in DMA mode in order to have a good transfer speed, so when we find that the hard disk supports DMA mode, we better set the hard disk working mode to "DMA mode" Instead of using the normal "PIO" mode of operation. ^[1]
