Defragging the efficient way

now that is funny. i wonder how many people actually have tried this. i did have some guy in my shop a few months ago saying his hard drive had gone bad and wanted to put the platters out of his old drive into another drive. I just looked at him and did everything in my power not to laugh.

He's right in most of it except about using SOS pads on it , all you need to use is alcohol to clean it .
But other than that , thats how I've always done it .

on a side note tho , why does that only work once ?
for me anyways .

If you add the alcohol to yourself you won"t care how fragged your hard drive is.
I also wonder how many people saw that on the internet and tried it?

Oh, that reminds me,.. My drive is due for a defraggle too. Now I just need to find my screwdriver, some pliers, and my blow torch and I should have it finished just in time to play some CoH.

You don't need a Blow torch ,a Hammer maybe .

I don't have time for all that, I just stick em in the dishwasher.

This is freaking hilarious!! I bet some people would try it had it not been for the part about throwing pieces out and the part about leaving pieces hang out in the end.

there are likely people who still tried it.

I just had a call from someone who has tried it... he can't remember the order that the disks came out and wants to know if it will make a difference to the speed of his hard drive....














only joking

Don't forget to have your emergency boot disk on hand.

The sad part about that is there are actually people in this world that would question whether or not this would really work.

They didn't mention anything about backing up your data before you start. I've found that a photocopier does nicely and only takes a few seconds.

Good tip, remember to remove the staples first else Mavis the Receptionist will get all upset and hold back the custard creams for a week....
