Hard Disk Drives

"What kind of hard drive..." How do you define "kind": ATA, SATA, SCSI? Or do you think of the capacity? Or manufacturer? You will get a lot of information, when installing a small tool called "AIDA32". It is freeware and can detect a lot of your hardware. Try Google for AIDA32, download and install it. You will be astonished what it has to tell you. Or just open up your system, watch closely and search on the Internet for the drive model. But I think, you don't know what to look for, otherwise you would not have asked this question ... :) AIDA is here : http://www.majorgeeks.com/download181.html Good luck.

there are 2 type of hard disk

1)internal hard disk

2)external hard disk

there are 5 kind of hard disk in each hard disk

1)ATA

2)firewire

3)SCSI

4)RAID

5)fibre channel

ya you can fix it just open the drive and back side of the laser light you will get a screw type component on the chip then take a thin screw driver and just turn a very very little bitt hat screw clock wise. if you turn it more than it need that will not be able to read a bad disks so turn just a bit just a bit get what i want to say just a bit

Temporary storage is usually referring to RAM -- Random Access Memory. Data stored in RAM only exists while the computer has power (nothing is saved).

The main thing that will determine if your computer is slow or fast is the hardware that it has. The faster the hardware the faster your overall computer speed will be (generally). The main that slows down your computer is the the operating system. If you have used Windows XP in the past and made the move over to Windows Vista you would have noticed a dramatic decrease in computer performance. The reason for this is because Vista is actually slower than XP. The main reason for this is because Vista has a lot of fancy things on in that are designed to make it look pretty which are of no use to you when it comes time to actually use the computer.

So the two main things that you have to consider are your computers hardware specifications and the operating system that you are running. I actually specialize in making computer faster whether they be running Windows XP or Vista and if you are interested in learning more, just click on my username to go to my bio page. I'm sure you will find something that will interest you.

what is the difference between a file system and a database system?

A normal hard drive consists of a disc that is constantly being written and overwritten, whereas a solid state drive consists of flash memory, like a USB drive. It has no moving parts and is all in one piece, therefore, solid state.

Think of an external hard drive like a normal hard drive working outside your computer, they work very much in the same way. Normally (unless you are using a SCSI, PATA, or eSATA hard drive), they can be connected to your computer via a Firewire or USB connection. If you have a key-drive (aka USB memory stick), they work like a miniature external hard drive in the sense that they store date in an external format; an external hard drive is just like a large key-drive. With both a key-drive and an external hard drive, you simply connect it to your computer, and access its files. When you want to access your internal hard drive, you go to My Computer and then select the C: drive; The external hard drive is a similar process, you select it's icon (located either on the desktop or My Computer) and then you can access its files like a normal hard drive. You can drag files out of it onto your desktop, or alternatively, drag files into it to transfer files from your computer.

If you are refering to an IDE Harddrive one way to do this is available under Windows 2000 or Windows XP. You would need to set permissions to the specific drive. Right click on the drive (under "My Computer")and click on the security tab. There will be listed the user accounts on the computer. If you are an 'administrator' on that computer you should be able to restrict certain users from accessing, reading or modifying the selected drive or even restrict them from accessing certain folders on that drive(under "advanced").

My hard disks crashed three times & there are few reasons responsible for Hard Disk crash.

1. If You are not using UPS & there is power failure.

2. Use of IDE or SATA hard Disk as portable device, because you may mishandle it also.

3. Lose power connection which sometimes leads to sparking.

4. If the hard disk experiences excessive shocks during mishandling, etc.

5. Other reasons are, Kernel virus & use of wrong operating system.

6. If the motor in the hard disk is having some problem. The motors that cause the hard disk to spin may fail to work, or the belts may break.

7. Due to age or excessive use. Hard drives are driven by mechanical parts, and all parts will wear with age.

You will need to change your BIOS settings so that the hard drive is run in "Legacy" or "IDE emulation mode."

A 2TB external hard drive generally will cost around 100 dollars. This really depends on the brand though, as some can cost as low as 80 dollars, or as high as 150.

Once the hard drive is installed in the computer, you must fdisk then format it the way you want. Next, you should set the bios to boot from the OS installation disk.

The first hard drive was made in Silicon Vally. The hard drive was made by a company, IBM.

The hard disk actuator moves the heads so that they can read different tracks. There are two different types of actuators: stepper motors and voice coils. Most modern mechanical hard drives use voice coils. SSD drives make even this obsolete.

The first hard drive in the computer is usually designated is Drive C:.
