You can use ScanDisk to
check your hard disk for
technical errors and repair
any damaged areas.
ScanDisk and Disk
Defragmenter take less time
to complete when run on a
regular basis.
When you optimize the
computer hard disk, you're
moving files closer
together so that hard disk
space is used more
efficiently. This helps
programs run faster and
speeds up access to your
hard disk.
