ok...dont laugh...this defragmenting thing...

i have never done it

this computer is about a year old...i know i am supposed to be doing it...but i dont know how...

and after you let me know that...since something i read told me that it has to take place in file 'c'...

will everything i have stored there be alright ??

i mean...nothing will get lost will it ???

please help me out...my computer is getting very slow

thanks in advance for your time :HUG:

Nothing will get lost, but you might wanna do it at night since it's likely to take a while.

how long is a while ??

oh man defraggin's a bitch it'll take a while but its worth doing
u might wanna clean out your temporary internet files too and do a disk cleanup thats in "start, then accesories, then,system tools and select disk cleanup"

an hour or two. If you have other drives, you might want to defragment them too. I would do a ScanDisk and Disc Cleanup first though. Then defragment. Then restart.

thanks guys...

im gonna go for it...then tonight when im ready to 'play' everything will be done



thanks for your help guys

ok...you said it would take time...but damn

i put it on pause for a minute...its been over 2 hours ...and we are still on 0 %...if i try to stop doing it...it says...that its not done defragmenting...so i know its working...

what the hell ??? this could take mother fucking days

girl..when you finish this one...start doing it atleast once every 3-6 months...it's really worth it!!

If you've never done it before, its gonna take a long time...but next time..start it before you go to bed...then you won't have to worry about it!!


Success, girl!!

Defragging is a waste of time anymore.

why ??? do i not need to be doing this ??
let me know before i go crazy LOL

I never do it. Maybe if you're running Windows98, and that's a big maybe. Modern harddrives have memory caches that mitigate most of the slowdown from fragmentation. It's really an old-fashioned thing to do anymore, IMO.

But I'm sure lots of people disagree.

i do have windows 98

i know...its not the best...but it works for me

if i dont need to defragment ...why is it getting so damn slow now ???

Probably spyware...it's the #1 cause these days. Go to www.webroot.com and download SpySweeper to clean that crap off. It's using up CPU cycles for the sole purpose of advertising to you in the future.

im pretty sure that programmer had me download something like that on my system already ...i dont need 2 of them do i ???

You need to get yourself something like Norton System Works. It will do all of this for you and even keep an eye on the running of the computer. It fixes any problems you have and is very easy to use.
