How to Defragment Hard-drives

Defragment hard drive is an activity to restore the data on the drive so each file can be read continuously by the hard disk. In general, Windows XP will restore the files that needed to be written to the hard drive in order clusters hard drive. The cluster is the smallest unit of storage space (capacity of space to store a file). (In Linux defragment does not exist): D 

A Hard drive has a frequency of use in a long time to restore the file fragments. Some of the files stored will share and This happened due to several factors, for example, uninstall (program left some registry files), system crashes (damaged), or when deleting a file system, a program (delete). 

File into several fragments when the cluster capacity is not large enough to accommodate the size of the file. Consequently, the file is not stored in a cluster, separate the cluster yan tetai sequentially in the hard disk. Effects felt by the computer system adlah ability to access a data or files increasingly slowed. To fix this, you need to set back the files on your hard disk by running a disk utility defragmention as follows: 

1. Click Start >> Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> Disk Defragmenter. The system will display the Disk Defragmenter window. 
2. Before performing the defragmentation, you should make a analilis the first hard drive by clicking Analize. It is useful to reduce the dependence of the amount of data on the drive.  
3. After the analysis is complete, the system will have a hard drive reprensentasi graph of the level of file fragments. The figure below can be examples of highly fragmented drives. 
4. Windows will always inform whether to give the command to defragment the drive. For the record, you must have 15% free drive (capacity blank) as a full defragment your request. Free hard-disk capacity is less than 15% can lead to partial re-ordering files. The solution, you need to do the removal some files to obtain the desired free space. 
5. To defragment the drive, click Defragment. For the record, the magnitude of the drive capacity and the level of lead taken defragment defragment process takes a long time. Therefore, you can leave the computer for a while until the defragmentation process takes a long time. Therefore, you can leave the computer for a while until the process is complete. Once completed, can proceed with defrag other drives such as the steps above.
