The hard facts on hard drives

By M. Gaberel

 

If previous presentations by Gene Barlow are any indications to the one that he will give on October 7th at DACS general meeting, members will learn all about the intricacies of their hard disk. Gene will talk on behalf of PowerQuest Corporation, a data recovering and hard disk back-up system.

At the October 2003 meeting Gene will explore the different backup options available and help members pick the one that is best for your needs. Gene says that “This is an important topic that every PC user should understand and implement on their computer” and that “your hard drive is the heart of your computer and contains all of the operating system modules and application programs that make your computer function. It is also where you store your priceless data files that you create using your computer. To lose any or all of the files stored on your hard drive is a major disaster and one that would take you weeks or months to recover from. You may never recover from the loss of your most important files.”

Hard disk maintenance, a topic most would agree is rather dry and boring comes alive and interesting when Gene Barlow tackles it. Attend the October 7th meeting and listen to Gene explain in words that is understood by all the subject of hard disk maintenance.

The meeting will take place as usual at Danbury hospital Auditorium starting at 7 p.m. with the main presentation at 8.00. For additional information on the meeting and direction to the Danbury hospital Auditorium, please check DACS web page at www.dacs.org.
