    Free Tip 

Try to keep at least 50% of your hard disk free. As the hard disk fills with data  it takes a longer time for disk to recover files from its storage, and being the slowest component of the CPU it will certainly slow your pc's performance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Disk Defragmenter ...

 When a file is  stored to a disk on your pc, it is broken into tiny  pieces each piece is stored in the first available sector of the disk.

When the disk starts fill up and more files are deleted certain random sectors become available on the disk, the files are no longer placed adjacent to one another. Thus, a file may be scattered across the disk (fragmented). This slows down the time for the files retrieval and slows down your pc speed.

 

To overcome this problem you have to defragment your hard disk.

All you have to do is click start menu\ program files \accessories\system tools and click defragmenter.

 

Select the drive you want to defragment. Exit all your other programs, then return to defragmenter and click ok

 

 

     Note:-  It might take many hours to complete. Especially if you haven't Defragmented your hard disk for a long time. If you are using your pc for typing and for games it is best to try to give Defragmenter at least once a week.
