DEFRAGMENT PARTITION

Defragmentation is the process of rewriting parts of a file to contiguous sectors on a hard disk to increase the

speed of access and retrieval. When files are updated, the computer tends to save these updates on the

largest continuous space on the hard disk, which is often on a different sector than the other parts of the file.

When files are thus fragmented, the computer must search the hard disk each time the file is opened to find all

of the file's parts, which slows down response time.

The program provides the necessary tool for the defragmentation of NTFS and FAT partitions.
