Disk Defragmentation

 

How often should I do this? Twice a Month
   
 Description:
 
Disk Defrag is a utility whose purpose is to realign the "fragments" on your hard drive to allow your machine to access them properly and quickly. What does this mean for you? A significantly faster computer!
 
 Instructions
 
1 To Open:

In Windows XP, Goto Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Utilities- >Disk Defragmenter

 
2 Select desired drive to defragment (I recommend you do each one) as shown below
 
3 Click Analize. A dialogue box will appear letting you know how fragmented your drive is. If its moderately fragmented or greater, I recommend you go ahead and Defragment.
 
4 If you need to defragment the drive, click Defragment. This process can take a while if its bad or the drive is large (2+ hours). If you do it often, the time it takes to correct its problems will take much less time.
