The Disk Defragmenter program organizes the data on the drive so that each
file is stored as one unit rather than as multiple pieces scattered across
different areas of the drive. Defragmenting the information stored on the drive
can improve hard drive performance.
While the Disk Defragmenter program is running, do not use your keyboard
or mouse because using them may continuously stop and restart the
defragmenting process. Also, if you are connected to a network, log off before
starting Disk Defragmenter. Network communication may stop the
defragmentation process and cause it to start over.
