How to Defragment your Hard Disk using Command Prompt

The defrag Command Prompt is a very powerful COMMAND tool that will help you make your computer faster because it will make your files, folders more organized as they should be just like in the real office!

The main idea behind it is to move the files in the right place on the hard drive which will Increase Speed and Performance in the computer!

Have you ever run into situation that you are trying to copy a large file to the hard disc and you are certain that you have enough free space!

Suppose that the file that you are trying to copy happens to be at least 700MB Family Picnic Movie File or a 2 GB Symantec Ghost Image! And your computer says that you have over 8GB of FREE SPACE LEFT so you decide to right click on the file that you want to copy and paste it at the drive! But Unexpectedly out of Nowhere you happen to get an error of some kind and it cant Finnish copying because you don't have enough space!

BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE!!! or Does IT?

You see whenever you try to copy a file to the Hard Drive it always seeks the most empty space. In other words it never puts the files close together and organized, they are always spread OUT!


“The latest exFAT file system is different!”


Suppose You have a 100GB HARD DRIVE and you already filled it up with over 50 GB! EVEN though you still have plenty of free space left most of the files are spread out through the entire Partition! They are so spread out(FRAGMENTED) that sometimes the disk has to be looking out to the entire drive until it puts all the missing pieces of only one file close together like a piece of puzzle until it's capable to open it UP, or worse the file is CORRUPTED and it cant be opened at all!


“CHKDSK /F or /R is recommended for that type of CURUPTED situation”


This is where the defrag command prompt plays a major role! This tool will help locate all the pieces of every file and put them together and then store them to one closer end of the hard drive for the computer to be able to access them more Quickly and Efficiently!

You can use the Disk Defragmenter tool as every Windows Version has but you can use the defrag.exe Command Prompt only in Windows XP and Above!

Sometimes the disk drive might be so fragmented that even System Files that are supposedly unmovable are not where they are supposed to be and the regular Disk Defragmenter software program couldn't open up! So you would have to know how to use MS-DOS!

Just right click Command Prompt in the Start Menu and make sure you run it as an Administrator and then when it opens up type DEFRAG C: and press Enter and you shall let the system defragment the files and all the missing pieces close together the way they should be for maximum result in PC/LAPTOP USAGE!
