how do u defrag ur com and does it speeds up gaming?

Becci · 08-11-2007, 08:37 AM

Go to My Computer > Right click the drive you want to defrag > Click Properties > Tools

But I think there are much better + efficient ways at defragging your computer to my knowledge, brb as I look for some.

And erm, defragging can speed up your computer so I've heard; it's wise to do it once and a while to keep things clean. But this only quickens the process of (I believe) opening a new program. For example, when you download something from torrents all the file bits are scattered and it can be a bit messy, so defragging lumps it together so it's all tidy. It's much easier to just try and keep your HDD clear of any useless junk.

EDIT:
Hopefully these links can help you. I'm no computer expert, but I'm sure there are some nice GZF members here who are much more knowledgeable than I am.

Click start > All programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
Click Defragment and wait until it is done.

As for speeding up things, yes it can if you see lots of red. Otherwise it may be minimal.
