Question: What is and how to use Disk Defragmenter?

Answer: The hard drive of your computer is made up of thousands of tracks and sectors. When we remove or add data, the operating system would process the file to make sure that it can be accessed and retrieve information in an easy and fast way. When install and uninstall programs, we create a lot of files or move folders with large number of bytes; the information is widely dispersed in the sectors which makes the Windows OS read data much slower. This disorder is called data striping.

Luckily, it is possible to accommodate these data, in order to improve the reading speed of the computer reader. The tool to do this work is known as PC defragmenter. In the market, there are several programs for this operation, but luckily Windows has an inbuilt defragmenter, though it is not the best one, but it can ensure enable safe and effective defragmentation process.
