Defragmentation reduces data access time and allows storage to be used more efficiently. Some operating systems automatically defragment storage periodically; others require that the user occasionally use a special utility for this purpose. Windows 98 comes with a built-in defragmenter as a "system tool" that the user can run. Windows NT did not come with a defragmenter because its file system, NTFS, was designed to minimize fragmentation; however, NT users often find one necessary and several vendors provide defragmenters. Windows 2000 comes with a "light" version of the Diskeeper defragmenter; some users (especially corporate users) use Diskeeper or some other full-function defragmentation program to manage storage efficiency and performance. Windows XP comes with a utility called "Disk Defragmenter."]]> 2017-10-18 09:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tay17001125/jdi811ec0tjg/wish/198140639 tay17001125 https://padlet.com/tay17001125/jdi811ec0tjg/wish/198141881  Disk fragmentation occurs when a file is broken up into pieces to fit on the disk. Because files are constantly being written, deleted and resized, fragmentation is a natural occurrence. When a file is spread out over several locations, it takes longer to read and write. But the effects of fragmentation are far more widespread: Slow PC performance, long boot-times, random crashes and freeze-ups – even a complete inability to boot up at all. Many users blame these problems on the operating system or simply think their computer is “old”, when hard disk fragmentation is most often the real culprit. ]]> 2017-10-18 09:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tay17001125/jdi811ec0tjg/wish/198141881 tay17001125 https://padlet.com/tay17001125/jdi811ec0tjg/wish/198144598 The normal time to use the utility is when you notice files loading slower than usual. By default, normally this is once a week, however this may not be as consistent, so double-checking each month to check how much the disks are fragmented is in windows.

Because every computer suffers from the constant growth of fragmentation and if you don’t clean house, your PC suffers. You would use this utility in order to retrieve all data that has been fragmented on the hard drive. ]]> 2017-10-18 09:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tay17001125/jdi811ec0tjg/wish/198144711
