Most computer systems are set up to automatically first check which drive for the
booting program
A.) The hard disk drive.
On a Widows operating system, 1). Go to "My Computer". 2). Right click on the drive you wish to check for errors. 3). Select the "Tools" tab. 4). Select the "Error-checking" tab and click, "Check Now" 5). Check "Automatically fix file system errors" AND check "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" 6). Click "Start" Note: If the hard drive you are checking for errors is the drive where your operating system is installed, you will be prompted that the the drive cannot be checked at this time but you will be given the option to schedule the drive (disc) check the next time you reboot your computer. In this case choose, "schedule a dskchck". 6). Shut down the computer. 7). Reboot the computer; the hard drive is then, automatically checked for errors. Once the check is run and compelted, you computer will continue the re-boot process and your system is up, loaded and ready again to use.
Usually network drives have a designated icon, drive with wire line connected to it. Also you can check properties of the drive where it will specifically say* what kind of drive you dealing with. *It is true for windows operating systems.
Not unless you specifically copy them to your hard drive. The flash drive acts like an external drive.
No. There are computer controlled systems, systems that use a slip clutch,
Working drives automatically show up in My Computer on XP. Perhaps it is not working.
If the external hard-drive uses a USB (hot plug) connection, then it can be freely plugged in and out without switching off the computer first. The computer will automatically install it in Windows. In some linux type OSs, the drive may need to be mounted first. In any operating systems, it is wise to unmount the drive before pulling the plug to allow any data writing to be completed or you may risk corrupting the external drive/data.
it should automatically do it anyway but if not, then go to 'My Computer' and click on the disc drive :)
If your computer has a CD drive, but the video into it and it should start playing automatically or something pops out to ask if you want to play the DVD.
Check for instructions in the owner's manual.
Yes it is, it is built into the computer and stores operating systems, programmes and data.
It will after a drive cycle, if that was the original problem.
