Using Disk Cleanup
Delete unneeded files, such as temporary Windows files, to free hard drive
space. If your server is running an operating system other than
Windows 2000 Server, see the operating system’s documentation for
instructions on deleting unnecessary files.
To use Disk Cleanup in Windows 2000 Server:
1 Double-click the My Computer icon.
2 Right-click the hard drive that you want to delete files from, for example
Local Disk (C:), then click
Properties. The Properties dialog box opens at the
General tab.
3 Click Disk Cleanup. The Disk Cleanup dialog box opens.
4 Make sure that the checkbox next to each file type you want to delete is
selected. For more information about file types you can delete, read the
descriptions in the Disk Cleanup dialog box.
5 Click OK, then click Yes.
Checking the hard drive for errors
Hard drive error-checking programs examine the hard drive for physical flaws
and file and folder problems. These programs correct file and folder problems
and mark flawed areas on the hard drive so the operating system does not use
them. If your server is running an operating system other than
Windows 2000 Server, see the operating system’s documentation for
instructions on checking the hard drive for errors.
To check the hard drive for errors in Windows 2000 Server:
1 Double-click the My Computer icon.
2 Right-click the hard drive that you want to check for errors, for example
Local Disk (C:), then click
Properties. The Properties dialog box opens.
