Using the Disk Cleanup Utility 333 You will use the Disk Defragmenter utility in Exercise 6.11 to analyze and defragment a disk. Using the Disk Cleanup Utility The Disk Cleanup utility identifies areas of disk space that can be deleted to free hard disk space. Disk Cleanup works by identifying temporary files, Internet cache files, and unnecessary program files. EXERCISE 6.11 Analyzing and Defragmenting Disks 1. Select Start Programs Accessories System Tools Disk Defragmenter. 2. Highlight the C: drive and click the Analyze button. 3. When analysis is complete, click the View Report button to see the analysis report. Record the following information: Volume size: __________ Cluster size: __________ Used space: __________ Free space: __________ Volume fragmentation-Total fragmentation: __________ Most fragmented file: __________ 4. Click the Defragment button. 5. When defragmentation is complete, click the Close button. Microsoft Exam Objective Monitor, configure, and troubleshoot disks and volumes. Copyright ©2000 SYBEX , Inc., Alameda, CA www.sybex.com 334 Chapter 6 Managing Disks To access this utility, select Start Programs Accessories System Tools Disk Cleanup. The first dialog box you see, shown in Figure 6.45, asks you to select the drive you want to clean up. FIGURE 6.45 The Disk Cleanup Select Drive dialog box The Disk Cleanup utility will run and calculate the amount of disk space you can free. After the analysis is complete, the Disk Cleanup dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 6.46. This dialog box lists files that are suggested for deletion and shows how much space will be gained by deleting those files. You can select and deselect files in the list. After you select the files to be deleted and click the OK button, you will be asked to confirm the deletions. If you click Yes, the Disk Cleanup utility will delete the files and automatically close the Disk Cleanup dialog box. FIGURE 6.46 The Disk Cleanup main dialog box Copyright ©2000 SYBEX , Inc., Alameda, CA www.sybex.com Troubleshooting Disk Devices and Volumes 335 In Exercise 6.12, you will use the Disk Cleanup utility. Troubleshooting Disk Devices and Volumes If you are having trouble with your disk devices or volumes, you can use the Windows 2000 Check Disk utility. This utility detects bad sectors, attempts to fix file system errors, and scans for and attempts to recover bad sectors. File system errors can be caused from a corrupt file system or from hardware errors. There is no way to fix hardware errors through software. If you have soft- ware errors, the Check Disk utility may help you find them. If you have excessive hardware errors, you should replace your disk drive. To access the Check Disk utility, open the Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, then Computer Management. Expand the Storage folder to see the Disk Management utility. In the Disk Management utility, right-click the partition or volume you want to check and choose Properties. Click the Tools tab of the vol- ume Properties dialog box, then click the Check Now button. This brings up the Check Disk dialog box, shown in Figure 6.47. Here, you can choose the Automat- ically Fix File System Errors and Scan for and Attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors options. Check the options you want and click the Start button. EXERCISE 6.12 Using the Disk Cleanup Utility 1. Select Start Programs Accessories System Tools Disk Cleanup. 2. Highlight the C: drive and click the OK button. 3. In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, leave all of the boxes checked and click the OK button. 4. When you are asked to confirm that you want to delete the files, click the Yes button.

You cannot gain exclusive access to partitions or volumes that contain the system or boot partition. In Exercise 6.13, you will run the Check Disk utility. EXERCISE 6.13 Using the Check Disk Utility 1. Select Start Settings Control Panel Administrative Tools. Expand Computer Management, then Storage, then Disk Management. 2. Right-click the D: drive and choose Properties. 3. Click the Tools tab, then click the Check Now button. 4. In the Check Disk dialog box, check both of the disk options check boxes. Then click the Start button. 5. When you see the Disk Check Complete dialog box, click the OK button and close any open dialog boxes.

We covered the following topics: File system configuration, which can be FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS Disk storage configuration, which can be basic storage or dynamic storage The Disk Management utility, which is used to manage routine tasks, basic storage, and dynamic storage Data compression, which is used to store files in a compressed format that uses less disk space Disk quotas, which are used to limit the amount of disk space that users can have on an NTFS partition Data encryption, which is implemented through Encrypting File System (EFS) and provides increased security for files and folders Disk defragmentation, which is accomplished through the Disk Defragmenter utility and allows you to store files contiguously on your hard drive for improved access speeds The Disk Cleanup utility, which is used to free disk space by removing unnecessary files The Check Disk utility, which can be used to troubleshoot disk errors Key Terms Before you take the exam, be sure you’re familiar with the following key terms: basic storage CDFS (Compact Disk File System) Check Disk utility CIPHER cipher text CONVERT data compression data encryption Disk Cleanup utility Copyright ©2000 SYBEX , Inc., Alameda, CA www.sybex.com 338 Chapter 6 Managing Disks disk defragmentation Disk Defragmenter utility Disk Management utility disk quotas dynamic disk dynamic storage Encrypting File System (EFS) extended partition FAT16 FAT32 hot swapping mirrored volume NTFS partition primary partition RAID-5 volume simple volume spanned volume striped volume volume Copyright ©2000 SYBEX , Inc., Alameda, CA www.sybex.com Review Questions 339 Review Questions 1.
