It is important to backup files of everything on your computer. PCs have a program called SHIPDISK.EXE which can "park" the heads of your hard drive to prevent problems in transit. After you run this program, turn the computer off and unplug it from the power source. When you plug the computer back in and turn it back on, the heads will unpark themselves. If you have the original box in which your PC was shipped, use it. Otherwise, pack your PC with plenty of padding (particularly on the monitor screen) in a sturdy box.
