How To Make Copying of Files Faster

These days, storage capacities of devices are becoming larger and larger. About four years ago, a 512 MB USB Flashdrive was a star. As of today, we have Kingston 128 GB DataTraveller that is so unimaginable. So as portable data storage devices are becoming extremely spacious, the need for users to copy large amount of data and files are also increasing proportionately. That means to say that when copying very large large, a very much longer time will it take to copy those files.

Such a problem can however be solved using programs or software that can make copying of files a lot faster. These programs are extensions that can really make copying of files easier and faster. To be able to enjoy the benefit these programs, all you need to do is to install it.

Here are some of the programs that I personally use in my computer and in our school.

• TeraCopy
  This was the first of the programs that I love to install to speed up copying of files in my computer. TeraCopy is free and easy to use. When you try to copy bulk files or large files, Teracopy automatically runs upon pasting in of the copied files to the new location or directory.



• TotalCopy
  It is more like a Windows addon that will give you options when you click right on a a file or folder to copy. The best thing with this is that you can actually change the copying speed, or even have he pause-resume option. I have heard that this doesn't run well in Windows 7 but I need to verify it myself.



• FastCopy
  This is one of the oldest softwares to make copying fast. It is another windows addon similar to Totalcopy. It has options on which to paste in the copied files. This is my favorite tool of choice when trying to backup very very large files like to backup a hard drive because it seldom fails or gives errors.

I have also noticed that when you install both TeraCopy and Fastcopy, the dialoue box that will appear when you copy is that of Teracopy's but the color of the status bar is blue (FastCopy's) instead of the default green of TeraCopy's.

The programs above mentioned can drastically make copying of files faster. Even faster than how Linux can copy files. Copying large files will be a lot faster and easier eliminating the long wait. Though there are many other programs that can make copying of files faster, the programs mentioned above are freeware. It's free to use and free to download!

Installing an antivirus is essential specially if your platform or operating system is Microsoft Windows based. Having the right protection for your computer ensures that your system will work at its fullest without compromising your security.

Almost all computers are vulnerable to virus infection from downloading pictures, music, documents, and other forms of downloadable media. Since you can't live having all downloading stuff restricted, we can still do so as long as your protected by a dependable antivirus.

Today, viruses are getting smarter as they can infect other computers across networks and can even replicate among themselves and wreck havoc on the infected computers. Some viruses are even capable of monitoring your internet activity and records your keystrokes then sends the recorded data to the attacker's server via ftp.

Video Problem Solutions

Video problems are the most devastating of the troubles your computer may have. It shown a dead blank display and leaves you clueless of what is happening inside of it. Don't get too anxious about it - we will solve your computer's video problem.

Having problematic video display may just be caused by a minor problem like loose cable connection to a more concerning defective video card or the display monitor itself. To be able to spot the real problem, it does not necessarily require you to become a computer technician. All you need is this short tutorial and some common sense at your disposal.

First, we need to find the root cause of the problem using a troubleshooting technique called "Zeroing of a Problem". The question is how do you spot the problem? Here are some questions that you should ask yourself while solving video problems.


Ask Yourself About:

• Does my LCD or LED display monitor have the right cable configuration or connection?


• Is it receiving power from the AVR?


• Are all the cables leading to LCD or LED display in good condition?


• Does the fan of the Power Supply Unit of the system unit spinning?


• Is there any whizzing or any other abnormal sound inside the system unit?


• Have you installed a new hardware or program earlier?


• Has the computer been moved to another location lately?

Now after trying to trace the last things done or the recent condition of the computer before it had any video problem gives you some sensible clues to where we should begin to locate its cause. Let us take the last question "Has the computer been moved to another location lately?", if you are to analyze the display problem may have been caused by the action. So what might have caused the display monitor to fail? Probably it would be from a power source, or loose cabling, or damaged monitors due to mishandling and other probability. You can then start checking for the suspected cause of the video problem one after the other. Do not check all problems at once - your check may not be thorough.

Loose cabling can easily be solved by reinserting it or as a temporary solution wrap the exterior of the plug with paper adhesive tape to snugly fit it in its socket. If however you have checked the cabling and power source and finds no fault or cause of the display problem, then it is worth to consider that the video failure might be attributed by the components inside of your computer.

To check the inside components of your computers, you must adhere to practice computer servicing safety measures and able to have some background in disassembly and assembly of a computer. So what particular peripherals or parts inside your computers that if it fails, it leaves you some disgusting display problems? Here is a short list of the possible defective peripherals that may contribute to the video trouble.


Defective Peripherals That May Cause Video Problems

• Video Card


• RAM


• Power Supply Unit


• Hard disk


• CPU

These are the most common peripherals that if they may fail, are usually the primary things that lead to video or display problems. Use trial and error technique by swapping each individual peripheral with a known good functioning one. In doing so, you will be able to "screen-out" other possible cause of the problem. But sometimes, cleaning the connector edge (the shiny gold colored plates) of the RAM and Video Card usually solves the problem. You can easily clean the connector edge using the commercial electronics detergent spray or a simple rubber eraser.
