*Computermaintenence: Defragmentation*
Defragmentation is the optimalisation of the ordered data upon your hard disk, so these can be loaded more quickly and the computer works faster.
Cause:
Fragmentation of computer data upon a hard disk occurs when not enough continuous space is available on the hard disk during a write operation..
The data file will be spread around the empty spots on the hard disk, causing more seek time in retrieving the program when needed.
Solution:
Defragmenting can be activated with programs like ‘Executieve Software Diskeeper’, ’Raxco’s PerfectDisk’ or ‘Windows Defragmenation’.
These programs collect all the spreaded pieces of programs/data and puts them together as one uninterrupted piece and places them in a correct order upon the hard disk ,
This way programs/data will load more quickly also this increases the average speed of your computer.
