Defraggler

Download it for FREE at defraggler.com. When my friends ask me how to speed up their computers, or just plaincomplain about their computers being slow, I have few steps. One of my steps is to tell them to “defragg” their hard drive. With the new era coming in with humongous hard drives the defragmenting is more and more nescessary. First of all and advice, Your main hard drive or the one that has your operating system on it should be less than 320GB. You ask why? You need only about 100GB, if that, for your operating system and other programs. For your data: MP3, pictures, and movies use the big hard drives like 1TB or bigger. The reason being, is when you defragment your main hard drive, the one with operating system, you will not really add that much stuff, well not as much as a library of songs or pictures. If you follow this then defragmenting will not be needed that often and will take significantly less time.

Well now to the software…

Defraggler made by the same company as CCleaner is

Lot better utility than the wannabe defragmenter that comes with your windows. Very easy to use and will significantly speed up your system, whether it is while booting or while accesing data, like let’s say opening a picture faster. The difference depends on how fragmented your system is, it also tells you that.

Number 1

Number one shows all the hard drives, and your partitions. Your hard drives can be split into partitions which are something like chapters in a book. Select your hard drive or partition.

Number 2

After making your selection, go to analyze, or you can skip that and go straight to defrag; however, if you click analyze you can see the difference, basically before and after.

Number 1

As you can see my analysis is complete and my hard drive is 77% fragmented which is bad. The fragmentation should be less than %10. Also, you should have more than 10% of your hard drive space free for the hard drive to work efficiently.

After defragmenting try to reboot your computer, and if you are still not happy, give my other post about CCleaner a try and that should just do it.
