In windows XP you need to manually schedule it to speed up the computer processing. Microsoft windows has updated its OS since this defrag utility was introduced many years ago. Defragmentation of computers also resolves other issues like increased booting time, application freezing, and random crashes.īoth Windows and Mac Operating systems have inbuilt tools to defragment the computers or laptops. In the process, the storage space and data processing speed is also optimized. It is a process that moves the data blocks of files in sequential order so that the file accessing time reduces. To tackle the problem of enhanced time while accessing files, defragmentation is done. It can affect the overall processing speed of the computer. Reading the data files that are located in different locations within a hard disk or on the platter will be time-consuming. This concept of file storage in an OS is called fragmentation. While storing the data files, OS may scatter the blocks belonging to one file on different blocks that may not reside on same platter. A head in the HDD writes data in form of blocks on these platters. In an HDD or hard disk drive, the data is stored on both sides of platters.
