2. Right-click the local disk volume that you want to defragment, and then click Properties.
3. On the Tools tab, click Defragment Now.
4. Click Defragment.


Method 2: Use Computer Management MMC
1. Start Computer Management MMC (Compmgmt.msc).
2. Click Disk Defragmenter.
3. Click the volume that you want to defragment, and then click Defragment.


Method 3: Use Disk Defragmenter MMC.
1. Start Disk Defragmenter MMC (Dfrg.msc).
2. Click the volume that you want to defragment, and then click Defragment.
The version of Disk Defragmenter MMC that is included with Windows XP has the following limitations:
• It can defragment only local volumes.
• It can defragment only one volume at a time.
• It cannot defragment one volume while it is scanning another.
• It cannot be scheduled. If you need to schedule disk defragmentation, use the Defrag.exe command line tool. For additional information about using the command line Defrag.exe tool, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

• It can run only one MMC snap-in at a time.

If you click start and click accessories and then system tools, you will see defrag. Click on that. Be sure to allow time for this process to work for you if you have never done this before. Defrag is like organization of your hard drive thereby making your access run a tad faster.

Answer 8

Dear Friend,
Good Question....
The defragmation processing time differs from OS to OS.
The general procedure for defragmation is
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmenter.

System tools might be available on Accessories or on Programs menu itself (varies from OS to OS)
