Dell recommends that you run Microsoft�s Disk Defragmenter
at least every other month. This utility reorganizes the contents of your
hard disk drive for more efficient file access, increasing the speed of
drive operations and extending the life of your drive. Refer to your Windows
documentation for instructions on running Disk Defragmenter.
Backing Up Data Files
To avoid data loss, regularly back up the data files
on the hard disk drive. Dell recommends that you back up the hard disk
drive at least once a week, with a daily backup of those files that have
been changed.
NOTE: In case of warranty replacement of your
hard disk drive, you receive a blank, formatted drive from Dell. It is
your responsibility to reinstall application programs and restore data
files.
