Kann ich die HDD veschädigen wenn ich ein Pc einfach aus mache?
Ich hab einen alten PC mit einem Intel dual core e7500. Ich hab Windows XP installiert mit auf einer 500gb hdd aber manchmal erkennt er maus und Tastatur nicht. Muss den dann aus machen mit dme Start Knopf und dann wieder ma dann geht’s. Ich weiß das macht der Hardware nichts weil sie eh nur 0 und 1 kennt abe richtig hab gehört für hdd ist das nicht so gut stimmt das oder was soll ich sonst machen.
Hello,
the hard drive itself is not broken. However, the data can be damaged.

Plate will remain heile, but the file system can get problems: If Windows just writes what on the disk, abrupt shutdown will make at least this file “caputt”. The shutdown already has (its) a sense, only in this way everything can be completed cleanly.
No, you can’t damage it. the HDD is neither damaged nor any other part.
If the plate is formatted with NTFS, there is no basic problem.
If it is formatted with FAT32, the file system can break when switching off. But even then it is usually (not always) repairable, it only takes a while.
NTFS is a “journaling file system”, i.e. it writes all changes in several steps on the board, so that a consistent state of the file system can be restored at any time with little effort.
The hardware of the plate is also not damaged. (This looked different in the 1990s – here it could happen that the read-write head remained somewhere in the middle and scraped parts of the magnetic layer when the plate became too slow to keep the air cushion between the magnetic layer and the head.)

If mouse and keyboard are not detected again and again, I would reinstall the system on occasion. It is possible that this is only one of several problems, or a superficial symptom of a deeper problem.
This is true, of course, but if a file simply cannot be written to the end, it does not use anything.
Journaling has been invented especially for such cases (system failure during a writing process).
If the file (or a block of a file) has not been completely written, the old state is simply used. (If only metadata is written into the journal and if there is a sufficiently large file, the file itself can contain inconsistent data, but the file system itself is fine, not to mention the hardware.)
… which does not have to be “correct” automatically. Of course NTFS is not FAT. But shutting down is better to practice than simply turn off. I’ve seen strange, inexplicable .chk files with me like others. I hadn’t written anywhere that hardware broke.
