  • Implementing Hard Drives 10
    All-in-1 / A+ Certification Exm Gde, 6th Ed. / Meyers / 6311-3 CHAPTER Implementing Hard Drives 10 In this chapter, you will learn how to • Explain the partitions available in Windows • Discuss the formatting options • Partition and format hard drives • Maintain and troubleshoot a hard drive From the standpoint of your PC, a new hard drive successfully installed is nothing more than a huge pile of sectors. CMOS sees the drive; it shows up in your autodetect screen and BIOS knows how to talk to the drive; but as far as an operating system is concerned, that drive is unreadable. Your operating system must organize that big pile of sectors so you can create two things: folders and files. This chapter covers that process. Historical/Conceptual After you’ve successfully installed a hard drive, you must perform two more steps to translate a drive’s geometry and circuits into something usable to the system: partition- ing and formatting. Partitioning is the process of electronically subdividing the physical hard drive into groups of cylinders called partitions (or volumes). A hard drive must have at least one partition, and you can create multiple partitions on a single hard drive if you wish. In Windows, each of these partitions typically is assigned a drive letter such as C: or D:. After partitioning, you must format the drive. This step installs a file system onto the drive that organizes each partition in such a way that the operating system can store files and folders on the drive. Several different types of file systems are used in the Windows world.

Defragmentation has also gained recognition for its critical role in addressing issues of system reliability and improved uptime, particularly since Microsoft’s decision to include a defragmentation utility in the Windows 2000 and newer operating systems. Disk fragmentation is In this white paper, we explain some of the most common reliability and downtime phenomena often the “straw that broke associated with fragmentation, and the technical reasons behind them. This includes a discussion the camel’s back” when of each of the most common occurrences documented by our R&D labs, customers (empirical noting issues of stability results presented), as well as others, in recent years.

  • Diskeeper and Disk Encryption
    Diskeeper ® and Disk Encryption OVERVIEW In the early 1990s, Diskeeper Corporation (a Microsoft ® Gold Partner) and Microsoft co-wrote Windows ® kernel-level code, and exposed an API (Application Programming Interfaces), prior to release of NT4 for third party software providers. This “MoveFile” API as it is called, has allowed defragmentation programs to operate as user-mode applications ever since, through Windows Server ™ 2008, Windows 7, etc… The benefit of having integrated defrag-based file movement in Windows is that all file movement in an online defragmentation operation by a product, such as Diskeeper, is entirely handled by the operating system. A defragmenter, such as Diskeeper, is from this viewpoint, logic that instructs the file system, via that API, to put file fragments that it discovers back together again into an available and contiguous free space on a given Windows volume. The process has been 100% safe for data since introduction in NT4. More recently, the NTFS file system added and fully supports disk/file encryption as evidenced by EFS (Encrypting File System), and Microsoft products such as Windows Bit Locker. It is fairly well known that Windows also ships with a native defragmenter (a product initially provided by Diskeeper for the Windows 2000 platform). It then stands to reason that Microsoft has a vested interest in maintaining continuing compatibility with defragmentation and, minimally, their own drive/file encryption solutions, and this is certainly the case. Over the years our vast install base (10 million+) has brought to our attention rare and temporary incompatibilities that other products have had with the Microsoft MoveFile API.
