Running the Disk Defragmenter Program

When Microsoft Windows Vista stores files on your hard disk drive, it often divides them into fragments so that they fit into the available space on the drive. When you open a fragmented file, the process takes more time, because it must be retrieved from more than one place.

The Disk Defragmenter program groups the fragmented files together on your hard disk drive to improve computer performance. This does not affect the location of files and folders on your computer.

NOTE: The Disk Defragmenter program may take a long time to complete. You can run it unattended overnight.

1Save your work and close all open programs.

2Press the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys simultaneously.

3Click Start Task Manager.

4On the Applications tab, select all the programs that are listed, and then click End Task. Close the Task Manager.

5Click the Windows Vista start button, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then click Disk Defragmenter.

6Click Defragment Now.

If Disk Defragmenter repeatedly starts, a background program is still accessing the hard disk drive. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, and then run the Disk Defragmenter program again:

1Click the Windows Vista start button, click the Arrow button next to the Lock button, and then click Restart.

2As soon as the first logo screen appears, press the F8 key.

3In the Windows Advanced Options menu, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and then press Enter.

4After Windows Vista starts, use the preceding procedure to run the Disk Defragmenter program.

5To turn off Safe Mode, repeat step 1.
