Disk drives sometimes carry a separate manufacturer's warranty, often as much as 5 years.=20 Defragging does exercise the disk drive, but should not cause premature failure.

However George maybe has the time can you explain the following. I did do a Defrag the evening before before, I did make sure it had finished, I did reboot. However Tony Berry said this procedure of Defragging is very high risk,now I am sure others do a Defrag on a regular basis and would not dream it was so risky,can you explain why it is so risky if not George then another part. I shall not feel confident now to do it ever again. as it may have contributed to the disc becoming NApoo, and if the last word is not in the dictionary I do not want to know that=20 ----- Original Message -----=20 From: dorothy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=20 To: user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=20 Cc: the gamages=20 Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 10:53 PM Subject: The hard disk failure The hard disk failure will cause the loss of all files, including the regi stry, all mail and documents. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=3Dunsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=3Dfaq] ** or send a message, to=20 ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
