Dell recommends that you run Microsoft's Disk Defragmenter at least every other month.
This utility reorganizes the contents of your hard-disk drive for more efficient file access,
increasing the speed of drive operations and extending the life of your drive. Refer to your
Windows documentation for instructions on running Disk Defragmenter.
To avoid data loss, regularly back up the data files on the hard-disk drive. Dell recommends
that you back up the hard-disk drive at least once a week, with a daily backup of those files
that have been changed.
NOTE: In case of warranty replacement of your hard-disk drive, you
may receive a blank, formatted drive from Dell. It is your responsibility to reinstall
application programs and restore data files.
