Can I move a notebook computer when it is on?

[ww]

I was told to put the notebook computer in a standby mode
before moving it. This will prevent damage to the hard
disk drive. However, there is a lot of vibration or
movements occure when using the notebook computer, i.e.
working on the lap, on the airplanes, moving the
notebook from a desk to a couch in a bed room, or even
the action of turning the screen to another viewers. It
is a big burden if I have to turn it off and on in every
few minutes in these spots. What are the best ways to
handle these suitations? Do the tablet cmputers have the
same problem?


Thank you for your help.

Yes, they are designed for some movement. ( I wouldnt go and swing it around on a rope though)...

Movement on the hard drive can case crc errors when the
hard drive is writeing or reading data

to fix such problums go to my computer on the desktop
right click on local disk c and go to tools open check
disk now fix file system errors you will need to reboot
this prosses will take up to 30min
