Paying to fix my computer? No, I made a Ghost image of the hard disk

Paying to fix my computer? No, I made a Ghost image of the hard disk


Usually I find PC users who buy a computer just begin to personalize it with your favorite shows. It normally takes a couple of days to install what they believe they will need. Sometimes it becomes a race to have the computer ready.


After a few months, have sailed thousands of hours, dozens of games installed and have opened multiple user accounts note that the computer is not going so fine. The operating system takes longer to load and slow down games. At this point most people flee forward waiting for the PC is unbearable for some action. This may be advanced if the system has been infected with a virus, some spyware have no disposal or appear to us nasty pop-up ads.There is a way to avoid this going to change the habits from the first day we turn on the computer. First, we see that what we bought and installed works correctly. Usually with take a look at device manager is usually sufficient.


After configuring the Internet connection and integrate the computer into our home network or domain should be verified 'Add or Remove Programs' what we have installed applications, many of them on trial. After doing cleaning and stick with what we're really going to useWe must upgrade the operating system and to strive to install only the basic programs like a text editor, PDF reader, a good browser, codecs, an audio and video, etc. In summary, this series of more business-oriented programs at leisure and not need updating every few minutes.


The key step is to make a Ghost copy of hard drive. It is highly recommended for create multiple partitions on your hard disk each with the size that corresponds to how it is used.For example, if you have 200 GB to 50 GB could give C, which will lodge the file system. 10 GB to copy Ghost to C: and the rest for documents, music, movies etc. Thus, if we ever have a bug in the file system unit leaves it inaccessible, not lose our documents.Today, the tools can Ghost imaging restore the system via network, USB or from a partition other than that we want to recover. When choosing the program is worth keeping in mind that the Ghost image is a copy of one or more partitions on the hard disk and therefore differs from the applications you just backed up.If the image takes us five to ten gigas will not take more than ten minutes to recover the system as we left the first day we turn on the computer, saving and repair in the shop, the inability to use the computer or having to endure that does not perform as expected.
