Disc or disk??

2010-01-20T23:03:00.002+03:00

Most of the time we see word "disk" written as disc or the opposite. Which one is correct?
Actually both of them are, but it depends on what does it use to function. When light is used like in CD, DVD and blu-ray we use the word "disc", otherwise we use the word "disk".
example:
CD which means Compact Disc
DVD which means Digital Versatile Disc
Hard Disk Drive
Floppy Disk
Solid State Disk (gonna cover it future).

what is defragmentation?

2009-12-20T17:12:00.002+03:00

A computer nerdy computer wizard may told you to defrag your XXXGB XX00 RPM with 32 MB cache.... (i.e Hard disk) once
monthly. But what on earth did he/she mean.
First we need to know how Hard disk works. Hard disk is like just like a library with loooooooots of shelves. These shelves has a fixed amount of books that it can keep. Let's assume ........enough nerdy talk. You can find more about this topic here.
defragmenentation in short is to make your hard disk tidier, thus faster.

Now let's make our hands dirty and learn how defrag a hard drive.
For Linux users, you're lucking enough. You don't need to defrag your Hard drive because the
system is smart enough.

Now let's talk what to do in Windows.
for now I will show how to do it on winXP.
first go to my computer.
then right click any hard disk drives (C, D, E, etc....)

do you see the word "properties" at the end of the list, click it.

whaa a new list appeared, don't worry you will survive, only if you "tools" and then "Defragment now"

Wwwwwwhat the...?

For now we only need two things
Analyze and Defragment
first let's know the difference.
"Analyze" means that it will scan the hdd to check if your hard disk is tidy or not.
"Defragment" it will check how tidy it is, if it's tidy and has no fragments you will get:

It means you HDD is fine enough and you don't need to do anything to it \o/
otherwise you will get:

Finally click Defragment.

That's it!!!

Note: for windows vista and win7 steps are different but similar.
