Defrag Disk to Speed Up Access to Data
Defrag Disk to Speed Up Access to Data
One of the factors that slow the performance of the computer is disk fragmentation. When files are fragmented, the computer must search the hard disk when the file is opened to piece it back together. To speed up the response time, you should monthly run Disk Defragmenter, a Windows utility that defrags and consolidates fragmented files for quicker computer response.
* Follow Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter
* Click the drives you want to defrag and click Analyze
* Click Defragment

Defragging does keep the drives fast and smooth. But defragging with the Windows program can be a pain. It sometimes hangs and sometimes skips lots of files. Also needs atleast 15% free space. Check out Diskeeper, which can be set to run automatically. Very fast and defrags completely even very fragmentedd drives.
