Defragmenting a Disk

 

Defragmenting a Disk

When files are stored on a hard disk, they are broken into pieces (or fragments) and individually written to the disk. Files on your hard drive can sometimes become spread out, or fragmented, across different sectors of the drive. Fragmentation makes your hard disk do extra work that can slow down your computer.

Defragment the hard drive aligns the pieces of those files in one sector, which increases the efficiency of the operating system to open the files. Disk Defragmenter rearranges fragmented data so your disks and drives can work more efficiently. Disk Defragmenter runs on its own schedule, but you can also analyze and defragment your disks and drives manually.

To defragment your hard disk:

  1. Open the Tools tab in the Disk Properties window ( as we did in the previous process).

  2. In the Defragmentation section, click the Defragment now… button to open the Disk Defragmenter window.



  1. Select a drive and click Analyze Disk to see if the disk needs defragmenting. You should analyze a drive before defragmenting it to get an estimate of how long the defragmentation process will take.

  2. To defragment the selected drive, click the Defragment disk button. The Process can take from several minutes to a couple of hours. This depends upon the size of the disk and the amount of fragmentation. Some fragments may remain, which is fine.

When you are ready, click close the Disk Defragmenter window.

How To Create a Folder & Rename a Folder & Delete a folder

Image
  WORKING WITH FILES AND FOLDERS Files are the individual documents that you save from within an application, such as Word and Excel, and you use folders and sub-folders to organize several files into groups or categories, such as by project or by customer. The purpose of a file system, of course, is to locate and use the files and folders on your computer. A folder is a container for storing programs and files, similar to a folder in a file cabinet. As with a file cabinet it is frustrating and time-consuming to search through irrelevant, misnamed, and out-of-date files to find the one you want. Windows allows you to organize folders and files in a file hierarchy, imitating the way you store paper documents in real folders. Using the file management tools, you can save files in folders with appropriate names for easy identification, quickly and easily create new folders so you can reorganize information and delete files and folders that you no longer need. You can also search for ...
