Defragmenting the hard drive
When working with files, sometimes Windows divides the file information into pieces
and stores them in different places on the hard drive. This is called
and it is normal. In order for your notebook to use a file, Windows must search for
the pieces of the file and put them back together. This process slows the hard drive
performance.
Disk Defragmenter organizes the data on the drive so 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 Disk Defragmenter 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

After Windows has finished checking the drive for errors, it provides a summary
of the problems that it found.
