Implementing preventive measures on PC Components
Preventive Measures on PC Components

Drives


Standard PC(s) consists of a floppy drive(s), a CD-Rom/CD-writer/DVD drive, and a hard disk drive(s). These drives are fixed inside the system; however, these drives accumulate dust with time.

Floppy Drive(s): A floppy may not be accessible if dirt has accumulated in the floppy drive. Dirt can also cause a floppy to get corrupted. To avoid this, clean the floppy drive head using a floppy drive cleaning kit. The kit contains a cleaning disk and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol.

The steps to clean the floppy drive are as follows:
1. Put a few drops of isopropyl alcohol in the access hole of the cleaning disk.
2. Insert the cleaning disk in the floppy drive. When the disk spins over the head, it cleans the head.
