Disk Defragmenter (Windows® XP only)
The disk degfragmentation utility consolidates files and folders
on your computer’s hard disk. This allows your computer to
access files and folders and save new data more efficiently. By
consolidating your files and folders, the defragmenter also
consolidates the volume’s free space, making it less likely that
new files will be fragmented.
How do I defragment my hard drive?
To run the Disk Defragmenter:
1 Click the Start button in the taskbar.
2 Highlight All Programs
3 Click Accessories
4 Select System Tools
5 Click Disk Defragmenter
When Disk Defragmenter opens, select a drive/volume and click
Analyze. The system will quickly examine the volume and
determine wether it needs to be defragmented or not.
