Do this check before your HDD crashes on you

HDD crash = lost data.

However, this could be prevented by running this check every once in a while.

First, press the "windows" key on your keyboard.
Type in "cmd" and press enter.
This will open up the command prompt. ( black screen with white text ).

Now type

"wmic" 

and press enter.

Followed by typing this
"diskdrive get status"
and press enter.

If all is good, the response from the last command will show "Status ok".
If it shows "failed" in any response, backup the hdd and replace it immediately to prevent imminent crash.

Gone are the days that the personal computer (PC) are personal.

These days, the computer is just an interface to the web. And with the rising popularity of smartphone and tablets, the laptop becomes almost redundant, relatively speaking.

And since almost every one owns more than one computing device, it makes sense not to store everything on one device.

Moreover, storing important files and documents or precious videos and music on a single computer is like putting all the eggs in one basket. That becomes a hassle when these files need to be updated and synchronized across all the different folders on all devices.
