• About the defragmentation
When files have been repeatedly written or rewritten to the hard disk, some files may become segmented and saved in
fragments. If this fragmentation continues, it may take some time to read from or write to the hard disk. The Disk
Defragmenter is a function that sorts these fragmented files in the most efficient order and enables you to read from and
write to the hard disk quickly.
• How to defragment disks:
A
Click
(Start) - [All Programs] - [Accessories] - [System Tools] - [Disk Defragmenter].
z
A standard user needs to enter an administrator password.
B
Click [Defragment now].
Defragmentation begins. It may take a long time depending on the drive volume, etc.
C
When “Defragmentation is complete...” is displayed, click [Close].
