Tips for taking care of your hard drive

I clarify that this information is only a joke, do not try to perform any of the following procedures:

1.- When you install your hard drive, inside the "case" try to hang it from it with 2 rubber bands. Links provide an excellent source of stretching that will improve the space available on your hard drive, making it longer.

2.- Shake your CPU frequently so the data stays in constant motion. The shake should be done with the computer turned on, never do it when the hard disk is parked as you will not be able to get the boot sector the next time you restart it.

3.- To clean the hard disk, open the case, uncover the hard disk and clean the heads with Tiner or any high-power abrasive, to clean the rotating disk just put it under a stream of water and dry it with a soft baby wipe.

4.- When you are doing some disk reading, either compiling your life's work, defragmenting, etc., take care to look closely at the color of the light bulb that will light up in the casing every time the disk reads and / or writes. Yes the light it is green there is no problem, if it is red…immediately press the “reset” button and call the technical service. But don't worry, the integrity of your data was never even 0.001% in danger of being lost.

5.- If you are doing some long and tedious process (installing Windows 95 for example) and your hard disk stops, put a magnetic source in the circuits so that it unlocks and frees the head. This process should be done with the computer running.

6.- If you are one of those people who loves to keep your computer open so that your friends can see your 'guts', then cover the hard disk with aluminum foil and fit it well in the circuitry, this will prevent the hard disk from being damaged by effects of the solar rays and the humidity of the environment.

7.- To "duplicate" your hard drive, pull it out of the CPU and open it very carefully so that the spinning disk is exposed. Extract it slowly and photocopy it. To access it, cut out the circle from the photocopy and insert it into the
floppy drive. Read as usual.

8.- Once a year, without having backed up the hard drive, remove it from the case and place it next to a horn, telephone, or powerful magnet. This process will keep the hard drive mechanisms magnetized and the data can then be backed up more quickly.

9.- If the hard drive is full, make more space for it by drilling with the thinnest bit of your drill delicately on the rotating disk, this must be done with the disk running to immediately notice the changes.

10.- If you can't remove a virus from your hard drive, ask all your friends to insert your USB sticks without scanning them, this will stop the virus from spreading by automatically removing itself from your computer.
