Filezilla Windows FTP Server

As information is written to your hard drive, it begins with the first empty location on the hard drive, and then consecutive pieces of data in each available spot until the drive is full. When you delete files or move them from one drive to another, gaps of unused space are left behind, and the next program will use that empty space in a first-to-last available manner. The more moving, deleting and file adding that goes on, the faster and more completely the drive becomes fragmented. A badly fragmented drive is subject to data corruption that leaves it partially or completely unusable.

To run Defrag manually:
1. Click START > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
2. Select the drive you want to defragment.
3. To determine whether the drives needs to be defragged, click Analayze.
    A. Click Close when the report completes.
4. Click Defragment.

For a large badly fragmented drive, this can take a very long time to complete. And while you can run other programs with defrag in the background, it is best to let the program operate without other programs, to reduce the possibility of corrupting your data.

In our next post, we’ll detail setting up defrag as a scheduled event, and offer some insight into why scheduling is a preferable method.

Windows: Disk Defrag

Commonly, the problem is that the user believes the error indicates that system.ini is missing. It is important to note that there is a trememndous difference between “files in system.ini are missing” and “system.ini is missing.” The first indicates that changes have been made to the system outside of its intended removal functions, and the second indicates a crucial system file is completely missing.

To solve the SECOND case, where system.ini itself is missing, simply run System Restore, and restore your system to the last known date when your computer was working properly. Variations on this error may be missing win.ini, or other default files referenced by the computer at startup. To minimize problems in this case, always create a restore point before making changes to your operating system.

In the FIRST situation, where files named in system.ini are not to be found, the most common error is human interference. If you have recently deleted programs by moving them to the Recycle Bin, or deleting them outright, the chances are good that your error is failure to follow the proper Windows chain of command.

Windows, as is typical of Microsoft, is very fastidious and self-centered. It wants to participate in any changes made to your system, and can be quite balky when changes are made manually. Not only can this result in boot errors, it can also leave you with “phantom” shortcuts on your desktop, and start menu, and the ones in your start menu can be VERY difficult to get rid of.

Always attempt to delete files or programs using the Add/Remove Programs option in the Windows Control Panel. This may seem to be the more complicated method, and rightly so, but it is, as noted above, simply Windows way making sure that you keep Microsoft in the loop, and don’t go modifying your computer to suit yourself without the help of Microsoft.
