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:

1Click the Start button in the taskbar.

2Highlight All Programs

3Click Accessories

4Select System Tools

5Click 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.

For more information about Disk Defragmenter, refer to Windows XP help.
