Disk Defragmenter With the creation and deletion of files over time, scattering occurs all over the hard disk area and affects performance. The Disk Defragmenter helps you rearrange the items stored on your hard drive to make your computer run faster and more efficiently. Running the Disk Defragmenter once a month (depending on computer usage) will decrease wear and tear on your hard drive and thus decrease the chance of a fault developing at a later date. 1. Perform a Disk Cleanup and close all open programs. 2. Click on Start > Computer. Right-click on the Gateway icon and select Properties. 3. Click on Tools and Defragment now.... 4. Click on the volume you want to defragment and click on Defragment to start. The whole process may take several hours to complete. It is best not to use your computer while running the Disk Defragmenter as any changes on your system may cause the process to restart. If your hard disk is divided into several partitions you should perform the same action for each partition. 76
