What are your Hardisk Utilities?

TuneUp Utilities 2008 and CCleaner are my favourite hd. utilities. tuneup takes care of the problems that hinder system performance (registry problems,defragmentation etc) and CCleaner eliminates cookies,temp. files and alot of other things you really dont need on you pc. Give them a try ;)

hi i use norton system software and do system scan one per month i go defrag

I am aware of the benefits of such utilities but never use any of them. I used to use Windows integrated systems to defragment the hard drive or ru Scandisk occasionally, but it is a long while since I bothered with anything like that. I usually keep the system fairly clean by either reformatting or overwriting the drive with a backup on a regular basis, which serves me well enough.

My favorite disk defragmenter is Raxco PerfectDisk. I rarely install new applications, but when I do, PerfectDisk keeps my drive running at tip-top speed. My Documents and all other frequently changing files are on my D: partition, which I rarely bother with. I don't use antivirus or antispyware (only Windows Firewall); I protect my PCs by locking the kernel. So little ever changes on disk C: except temp files, which I delete manually. Probably the single most important program I own is Acronis True Image. I use this to backup the C: partition to archives on the D: partition. If it's a backup I intend to stick with for awhile, I will burn these archives to DVDs. This way, even if my hard drive fails, I can be up and running on a new drive within hours, rather than days.

i use diskcleaner to clean up temperory files and windows defragment tool for the windows partition only. i use nero backit up for restoring and creating backups when needed.
