Disk Defragmenter

With the creation and deletion of files over time, scattering occurs all over
the hard disk area and affects performance. The Disk Defragmenter helps
you rearrange the items stored on your hard drive to make your computer
run faster and more efficiently.
Running the Disk Defragmenter once a month (depending on computer
usage) will decrease wear and tear on your hard drive and thus decrease
the chance of a fault developing at a later date.
1. Perform a Disk Cleanup and

close all open programs.

2. Click on Start

>

Computer.

Right-click on the Packard Bell
icon and select Properties.

3. Click on Tools and Defragment

now....

4. Click on the volume you want to

defragment and click on
Defragment to start. The whole
process may take several hours
to complete. It is best not to use your computer while running the Disk
Defragmenter
as any changes on your system may cause the process
to restart. If your hard disk is divided into several partitions you should
perform the same action for each partition.
