If you do not have good idea on defragmenting, know that whenever you create or maybe copy new files on your hard disk, the operating system starts creating the files where there is available space. Often a file needs to be written in many places in fragments according to the space available on the hard disk. When your computer system needs to read a fragmented file, the hard disk spins and spindles moving at all the location of the fragments on the hard disk; this makes Windows slow to respond.

This is when defragmentation is required; while defragmenting, Windows gets all the fragments of a file close together that were scattered in a hard disk on different positions.
