Dan Gookin has updated this guide to reflect the new features of DOS 5. For DOS users who have already lost control of their hard disks, this book explains how to break down and reorganize jumbled files and data into manageable units using a combination of partitional and subdirectories. Gookin's advice can also save those just starting out with a new hard disk from experiencing the headaches and frustrations caused by poor disk management. Readers learn how to use batch files and homemade menu systems to aid in the everyday management of disk files, how to improve system performance with a variety of disk storage and access strategies, and how to secure data using backups, password protection, and encryption. A disk containing several useful disk management utilities from PC-SIG is included.
