Speed Up a PC With Disk Defragmentation







If you're a PC user then you know how frustrating it can be when your computer starts running slowly. Impaired system performance is often the result of file fragmentation; as files are added to and deleted from your hard drive, the physical address of related files on the disk can become more distant and scattered. Disk defragmentation serves to move your files back into a more logical order so that files are indexed and accessed in a more efficient manner. You can defragment your hard drive quickly and easily using the Windows Disk Defragmenter utility.



Instructions


1. Hold the Windows key and press the R key to open up a run command box.

2. Type "dfrgui" in the run box and press Enter.

3. Press Continue at the security authorization prompt to start the Windows Disk Defragementer utility.

4. Click the "Defragment now" button.

5. Check the box next to each partition that you wish to defragment. Click the "OK" button to start the defragmentation process. The defragmentation procedure begins and the amount of time remaining in the process is displayed in the center of the program window.

  1. For defragging I would recommend trying out the latest version of Diskeeper. I have been checking it out and its the best automatic defragger I have tried so far.
