The hard disk fragments known as file fragmentation, which is due to the file saved to disk scattered in different places, rather than continuously saved to disk within the contiguous clusters. Simply speaking, all procedures of the disk reading and writing operations are likely to generate debris in the disk. In the period of daily use, the user constantly create, delete, update files on the disk, after a long time, the disk will accumulate a large number of file fragments, which would seriously affect the performance of the system, resulting in a waste of disk space, or even to reduce the disk life.
It’s better to clean up the hard drive before to defragment hard disk, and then close all applications. This is because when defragmentation, the system will move many of the documents, if the file is being used by the application, it can not be defragmented, or defragmentation is complete, the program error occurred.
As for the hard disk defragmentation methods, we preferred Windows operating system built-in defragmenter, then you can try other debris finishing programs, and some third-party programs are much faster than the Windows built-in defragmenter, and the results were pretty good.
Defragmenting the hard disk in Windows 2000/XP systems, the user can right-click the hard disk, select “Properties” in the dialog box that appears, click “Tools” tab, click “began to organize” button in the “Defragment” election items group. The system will automatically start defragging.
