Backing Up Your Old Hard Disk
Drive
After you install your hard disk drive, the data
will still exist on your old hard disk drive. To be
able to use the data on your new hard disk
drive, however, you must back up the data
before removing the old hard disk drive.
The steps to follow depend on your hardware
and software options, so a specific procedure is
not possible. The following process, however,
describes in general terms how to back up the
files on the old hard disk drive.
Checking the Files
You can help ensure the files you move to the
new hard disk drive are good by running the
following programs before backing up the files.
q ScanDisk -- checks for damaged files
q Defrag -- eliminated fragmentation in files
q An anti-virus program -- use the anti-virus
software you have to check your files for
computer virus infection
