Defragmenter is the tool you will run the least but
that sure doesn't mean it's not just as important as the others if not more so. Here's one of many ways to get to the Windows
System tool called Defragmenter
Click on Start -- All Programs
-- Accessories
Click on System Tools
and then Disk Defragmenter
You can now see
the different volumes or drives you have on your computer.
It is best to analyze
all drives and let windows Defragmenter determine if you need to defrag that particular drive or not.
The reason you
see so many on mine is because I have a USB drive hooked up plus
an external drive both of which have to be defragged from time to
time.
We will start at
the top and analyze the D Drive. Not all computers show this drive
but I have an HP and this is called the Computers recovery partition
so don't be concerned if yours doesn't show a d drive or it could and represent another drive with that letter. In any case it still
has to be defragged.
You will want to analyze each
drive and if it needs to be defragged a window will pop up and tell you that this drive needs to be defragged or if not it
will also inform you.
The time to defrag a drive again depends on
how long it’s been since the last time it was defragged and how much the computer has been used.
