Keeping a Floppy Disk Drive Running Watch for exposure to environmental
conditions and foreign objects. Schedule monthly cleanings. Check the floppy disk first for data errors or
write protection. Check complementary metal-oxide
semiconductor (CMOS) settings. Check or change the floppy disk drive cable. Change the floppy disk drive controller. Replace the floppy disk drive as needed.

Actuator Arms Hold read/write (R/W) heads in place Must deliver speed and accuracy Use one of the following technologies:
The stepper motor (older) had many disadvantages.
The voice coil motor (newer) uses the head for mapping.
Might be damaged by head-to-disk interference (HDI), or head crash

Low-Level Formatting Creates and organizes sectors Sets the proper interleave Establishes the boot sector

Preparing the New Drive Create a bootable disk with formatting
utilities. Create a Microsoft Windows 98 startup
disk. Use the bootable disk to partition and
format the new drive.

Partitioning

High-Level Formatting FORMAT.COM does the following:
Creates and configures the file allocation tables (FATs)
Creates the root directory The FAT tracks which part of a file is
stored on which sector. FAT32 uses disk space more efficiently.

17
High-Level Formatting (Cont.) Consider several factors before using
FAT32. You should not use FAT32 on dual boot
systems shared by operating systems (OSs) that do not support FAT32.
FAT32 partitions that are shared can be read across the network.
FAT32 does not support compression. You should not use disk utilities that are not
made for FAT32.

Fragmentation and Compression A hard disk can become fragmented
over time. MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows 95,
Microsoft Windows 98, and Microsoft Windows Me have defragmentation programs.
Disk compression eliminates wasted cluster space.

Maintaining a Hard Disk Drive Perform comprehensive, regularly
scheduled backups. Save a copy of the boot sector and
partition table information. Have tools on hand for hard disk
repairs. Use only disk tools certified for the hard
disk drive and the OS.

Chapter Summary Floppy disk drive technology has changed little over
the years. Floppy disk drives fail more often than any other
computer component. Installing a hard disk drive requires you to partition the
drive, set the CMOS settings, and format the drive. The fdisk utility is used to create partitions. The geometry (CHS values) of a hard disk drive
determines its storage capacity. Partition types include primary, extended, logical, and
active. The active partition is used to initialize the OS.
