  2. File system fragmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_fragmentation

    [b] The file system could defragment the disk immediately after a deletion, but doing so would incur a severe performance penalty at unpredictable times. Now, a new file called F, which requires seven blocks of space, can be placed into the first seven blocks of the newly freed space formerly holding the file B, and the three blocks following ...

  3. CHKDSK - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHKDSK

    [10] On Windows NT operating systems, CHKDSK can also check the disk surface for bad sectors and mark them (in MS-DOS 6.x and Windows 9x, this is a task done by Microsoft ScanDisk). The Windows Server version of CHKDSK is RAID-aware and can fully recover data in bad sectors of a disk in a RAID-1 or RAID-5 array if other disks in the set are ...

  4. Hibernation (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation_(computing)

    Windows 2000 is the first Windows to support hibernation at the operating system level (OS-controlled ACPI S4 sleep state) without special drivers from the hardware manufacturer. A hidden system file named " hiberfil.sys " in the root of the boot partition is used to store the contents of RAM when the computer hibernates.

    TestDisk is a free and open-source data recovery utility that helps users recover lost partitions or repair corrupted filesystems. [1] TestDisk can collect detailed information about a corrupted drive, which can then be sent to a technician for further analysis.

  6. Defragmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defragmentation

    [10] [11] There are also a number of free and commercial third-party defragmentation products available for Microsoft Windows. BSD UFS and particularly FreeBSD uses an internal reallocator that seeks to reduce fragmentation right in the moment when the information is written to disk. [12] This effectively controls system degradation after ...

  7. Volume boot record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_boot_record

    The boot code in the VBR can assume that the BIOS has set up its data structures and interrupts and initialized the hardware. The code should not assume more than 32 KB of memory to be present for fail-safe operation; [1] if it needs more memory it should query INT 12h for it, since other pre-boot code (such as f.e. BIOS extension overlays, encryption systems, or remote bootstrap loaders) may ...

  8. Hard disk drive failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive_failure

    Read/write head from circa-1998 Fujitsu 3.5" hard disk (approx. 2.0 mm x 3.0 mm) Microphotograph of an older generation hard disk drive head and slider (1990s) Noises from an old hard drive while attempting to read data from bad sectors. During normal operation, heads in HDDs fly above the data recorded on the disks.

  9. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

    Each partition then appears to the operating system as a distinct "logical" disk that uses part of the actual disk. System administrators use a program called a partition editor to create, resize, delete, and manipulate the partitions. [3] Partitioning allows the use of different filesystems to be installed for different kinds of files.
