subject: Disk Defragmentation - How To Defragment Your Disk Quickly [print this page] Fragment or fragmentation is very annoying for computer users. It could lead to poor computer performance, hard disk damage, data loss and other unwanted problems. It is necessary to defragment your computer regularly to avoid those latent risks.
You can use Disk Defragmenter to defragment you disk. It is a free accessory in Windows which can effectively reduce the amount of fragmentation in file systems and reorganize the data of the disk to store the pieces of each file in sequence and contiguously. Now let me tell you how to use it to defragment your hard disk. You just need to follow the steps below:
1. Go to desktop. Right-click My Computer, and then click Open.
2. Right-click the volume which you want to defragment, and then select Properties.
3. Click the Tools tab, and then click Defragment Now.
4. The Disk Defragmenter will show.
5. Click the volume that you want to analyze or defragment
6. You can click Analyze. And then click View Report to view the Defragmentation Report, which displays detailed information about the volume that you defragmented.
7. Click Defragment to defragment the volume right away. The defragmentation process normally takes much time. You need to be patient.
After you defragment all the volumes in your disk, you could find your computer start up and run faster than before. But Disk Defragmenter is not a very good tool. It can only defragment one volume at a time. It could take you half a day to complete defragmentation. And it cannot optimize the hard disk performance completely.
I recommend Advanced Defrag which can defragment and optimize hard disk effectively. You can follow the link below to find out more details about this powerful defragmenting tool.
