To help keep your computer running well, it
is important to run maintenance on parts of it, especially the hard drive.
Last week we looked at Scandisk, this week we will continue with the same
theme and show you how to run Defrag ( Defrag is a process used to
rearrange file storage on a disk so that files are not scattered across
the surface of the disk. Defragmented files load more efficiently). Defrag
should be run at least once per month, to keep things running smoothly.
The best way to start Defrag is to double
click on “My Computer”, then right click on the “C:” drive and
select properties from the list that appears…
From the next menu select “Tools” and
then “Defragment Now”
The Disk Defragmenter screen will now appear,
Click on Analyze. This will check your drives and will only take a few
seconds. If your result shows a lot of red like mine (see picture below)
then click on "Defragment" to continue) Be warned this may take
several hours, so don’t run it, if you are going to need the computer in
a rush. Some people tend to run it over night or before they go to work.
Once completed, shut down and use your computer
everything should be that bit smoother.
