• How will I know that my hard drive is when it starts to work by itself?

  I'm going to step away from my computer for a while, maybe just to read for half an hour, and then I noticed that the drive works.  How will I know what he does? I want to really just to ensure that some spyware or something malicious does not on my computer!

  It is likely that the indexing or defrag or some other service is running. You can use the Task Manager to check. [Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC as a way to start it.]

  For what is something wicked (you never know with certainty what 'they' might do), make sure that your antivirus software is up-to-date. Install a good as a basis for security from Microsoft (free) or Kapersky (not free). Also run a check by MalwareBytes (free version) or another alternastive good.

  Don't forget, everything simply because you're not paranoid doesn't mean that nobody is trying to "help".

  I'm kidding a bit. All the best.

• How will I know if a core I5 and 5400 RPM drive is ok for me or if I should get a core I7, 7200 RPM dr

  Buy a new laptop.  My old Dell Inspiron is giving up the ghost.

  How will I know if a core I5, disk 5400 RPM is quite enough for me or if I should get a core I7, 7200 RPM laptop drive?  Also can I get an I5 with 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM with an I7?  Need some recommendations.  I'm not an expert in computer so need a good explanation on what to do and why?  I don't have video games on the laptop.  It uses mainly for the mail, Excel, word, internet research, videos on the internet, etc.

  I'll use the Kudo.   Now I know what it is for.

• What happens to my key if my hard drive is formatted, the key will work after that my hard drive is formatted?

  I want to know that my synchronized computer key will work if I format my drive hard because when the hard drive is formatted, then the key code is deleted, even though I saved my key will it work after formatting hard drive. Let me know.

                let me also know that what will happen if I lose the key I had saved then how will I access my synchronized computer .
  

  Hello!

  Can you indicate the information where it says that the information is stored in our servers? If that mentioned anywhere we need to clarify.

  The only reference I found is here: How can I set up Sync on my computer? and it is specifically stated that the information is synchronized on devices through our servers. If it is misleading, let me know so that we can reword it.

  Regarding the storage of the key in your pen drive or any other backup system: this is the best solution and it will work correctly after you format your computer. The key does not change when you format your computer, so you will have no problems after all.

  Windows tries to "fix" or "repair" them, but anyway, the hard drive

  is endangered... Get ready to have more problems, too, even

  have the hd as a 'slave' to another hd (c), the data will get corrupted, and

  worse still, coming just missing. HD replacement is relatively cheap...

• PerfMon: How will I know if my perfmon is malware?

  How will I know if my perfmon is malware? He eats all my performance...

  Thank you

  PerfMon.exe is a performance monitor. If you run the Task Manager, it turns perfmon and show of the resources used. So if you notice performance monitor using resources when you run the Task Manager to review performance on the applications or processes, just to get account, you use perfmon to see these activities and it uses resources to take sample data of all. Hard drive, processor, ram,... these queries use resources, and that's why you see perfmon navigate your resources as a very frequent process.

• How do you know if the hard disk controller is damaged or it does not work?

  Hello

  I would like to know how you can know if the hard disk controller is defect.  is there some tools for it or a way to test it.

  I have thouthg my self for a solution like this;

  -If I take the hard drive that is not working out pc and attach it to the speaker and the speaker set on a PC then I wil first hear the rotation of your drive hard so that when the PC wil recognizes the external hard drive as a hard disk and then the controller is OK, otherwise it means that the controller is damaged.

  . I know mechanical problems with a hard disk, they do some sounds when they turn.

  is the way I think it is the right way to know or there is much better way to find out if there is a problem with the hard disk controller.

  Thank you

  Small circuit board is an interface for cables that sorts what is happening in the place where. It holds the drive buffer and it tells the computer what it is, i.e. drive, speed, brand, model, size etc.

  If you get an error of hard disk controller, it's a motherboard problem and there is no way to fix it.

  Hard drives fail for two reasons...

  1. The platters inside are deteriorating to the point where they are no more able to maintain the structure of the sector/cluster.
  2. The spindle motor breaks down.

  The part of a disk hard less likely to fail is the interface card, unless he is accidentally cut on the computer case or other metallic surface. If this short, you will know that the smoke resulting hard disk is acrid beggars belief. It is almost the only case where the interface will fail.

  Even when a hard drive is subjected to temperatures beyond its limits, the spindle motor bearings will fail way before anything else, that's why the vast majority of the disk hard total fails is obvious because there is no vibration of the engine.

  If a hard drive starts to cause problems, it is best to replace it because it will always get worse over time...

• How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

  I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

  Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

  I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

  (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

  (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

  (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

  All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.
