can I still use my computer while its defragmenting?

Answer 1

It is possible to run most programs while defragmenting, but they tend to operate WAAY slower. Most anyvideogame will be so slow that the effort is not worth it, and downloading things from the net is pretty much impossible on dialup because of the lag.

Word processing programs generally work fine, but if you type a lot of letters in, it may take a bit for them to show up.

Also, operating programs can cause them to fragment. In general, a few hours of computer program work is not a big deal, but it is a little counterproductive.

Defragmenting usually takes about two hours, so go watch a movie instead... unless you're writing a novel.

Answer 4

The short answer is: no. Using the computer will usually disrupt the defragmentation. It's best to start it before you go out, or when you go to sleep, so it will be done when you get back or wake up.
