For This lab, I had to check all of the running processes using the task manager or taskmgr.exe in normal and safe mode to see which processes ran that were different. The processes that ran in normal mode that did not run in safe mode are two java processes, two s3 processes, search protocol, two open office processes, taskhost, and a wuaudt process. There was a process than ran in safe mode that did not run in normal mode which was ctfmon.exe a ctf loader.

For this excercise I turned on my guest user. I then ran disk cleanup using both my administrator and guest users. They both had the same options to choose from.

Defraging the hard drive


I used the tools to analyze disk C to see if it needed to be defragmented. After it analyzed the disk it said that the drive was 0% defragmented.

Check disk

I used the tools to check the disk for errors. I scheduled it to check the next time I logged off. After verification it said I had 53 large files and 0 bad files the check disk went through 5 steps: File verification, index verification, security descriptors verification, file verification, and free space verification.

Verify start up programs





Backup

For this lab I Backed up my home computer using windows 7 backup utility. I clicked on Start, Control Panel, System & Security, and Setup Backup. I choose to backup to disk using drive E:. I choose to let windows choose which files to backup, the other option was to let me chose. Windows choose to backup all users. I then put a disk in the drive and when that one was full back up asked me to put in a new disk. It took 4 disks to backup my home computer.
New Volumes

In order to create a new volume on my hard drive I moved all of my files from my D drive to my C drive and then deleted my d drive. I then went to computer management and right clicked my unallocated space and clicked on create simple volume. I chose to create a volume og only 5 gigabits. I was able to save a file to my newly created volume after words.

Lab 9-1

In this lab I had to install a device on in the computer. I installed a dvd rom drive. This device is a SATA drive and worked when I used it to install the OS from disk. The sata drive is inserted in the sata 2 port.

LAB 8-6

This is a picture of the installed sata hard drive. The sata drive is connected to sata 1. This is the third drive I had to install. My first drive was an IDE. It did not work. The second drive was a sata but after installing the operating system and then shutting the computer down it lost the boot record. This hard drive works so far.
I have two partitions on this hard drive.
