clipped from: www.updatexp.com In the context of administering computer systems, defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation in file systems.
Defragmentation
attempts to alleviate these problems.
Keep it nice and simple...
Consider purchasing a third-party defragmenter!
They're inexpensive, immeasurably better than the freebie version supplied with Windows XP and can work in the background without slowing down system performance.
Infact software like TuneUp Utilities 2008 can really improve YOUR PC performance by:
# Intelligently defragment your hard drive on demand
# Optionally, and automatically, defragment your hard drive in the background
# Shorten the start-up time of Windows XP
# Defragment and repair the Windows XP registry
