Will there be any defect arising out of it?

Defraging the hard drive is a "user fucntion". Meaning it is something so simple that the average computer user can do it themself.
Open "My Computer" and find the listing or icon for your hard drive. Right click on it. Select Properties
Click on the "Tools" tab. You will see a button to "Defrag Now". Click on the button. That's it.
If you have not defraged the drive before (or in a while) it can take a while (such as a few hours) to complete. You should not use the computer while it is running. Anytime you do something that changes the hard drive content, the defrag has to start all over and would never compelte. So it is recommended that you start the defrag before going to bed, school, or away for the day.

The size, fragmentation (how many pieces your files are all broken up into) and speed of your hard drive are all going to affect your defragmenting capability. A defragmentation of a hard drive is simply a moving around of a lot of data to make it easier to access and faster to open and run, so there's little or no risk or damaging anything, unless you interrupt the defragmentation in an unusual manner. While the Windows defragmenter, which several other people have already pointed out, is a good option, there are also programs like DiscKeeper, which will weekly run quick defragmentation sessions while yor computer is idle, and over the long run, save you having to wait for several hours at a time for a defragmentation session to end.

Yes.
- Open My Computer
- Right click the hard drive icon and select Properties
- Go to Tools tab and click Defragment Now...
You should regularly run your defragmentation specially if you have frequent new files or installation in your PC at least once a month.

Nope. Defrag is built into your OS to work without problems. I will make your hard drive faster so definetly do it! All you have to do is run it and it takes care of the rest. Very easy, Very simple.

I usually put that off until Wednesday nights, when Bill Gates brings his family over for dinner. Then both our families spend an evening de-fragmenting together.
It pays to have contacts.
