Program which is comprised of both the operating systems Windows, Linux or Macintosh. And also serves as a store of supporting application software.

Because of these functions, the HDD has a very important role. If a part is damaged, the result is the most fatal of all stored data can be lost. Therefore in anticipation would not hurt if we back up your data on a regular basis (this is for the personal file). With the aim for example if there is a problem of bad sectors no longer worry.

The purpose of the bad sectors is a defect in the smallest part in a hard drive, so the likelihood of the data in it can not be read.

Based connections, hdd can be divided into two parts:

  • IDE

An initial generation using a connecting cable to the motherboard IDE. This cable has a larger number.
