Defragment of disk drives in XP

Hi Dear,

Disk Defragment is very useful tool of windows.

Defragment means to get close or to shrink all spread data.

When we copy or install something on our pc the windows put its files randomly and unsorted. This reduces the speed of PC and also affects the space of partition.

When we run defragment tool, it shrinks data or together data that are spread around the surface of the disk. In other words it sort out the data.

It improves the performance of pc and hard disk performance also.

If you want to use this tool so click on start button, open all programs, then choose accessories then system tools and disk defragment.

I hope this will help you to understand it.
