Mahalo's Windows expert Sean Hewitt shows you how to speed up your PC by defragmenting the hard drive.

What Is a Disk Defragmenter?
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The disk defragmenter keeps your hard drive running efficiently by rearranging the files on your drive so it will take less time to find items you are searching for. 
It is essentially the same as organizing clothes in a closet instead of throwing them on the floor.

Disk Clean-Up
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Perform a disk clean-up by opening the Start menu then clicking on Computer. Next, right-click on the Hard Drive then select Properties and choose Disk Cleanup. Select items you want to delete and press OK to erase the files from your hard drive.

Open the Disk Defragmenter
---------------------------------------------------------------------

To open the disk defragmenter, click the Start menu then Computer. Next, right click on the Hard Drive and select Properties. Choose the Tools tab and click the Defragment now button. 
From here you can schedule routine defragmenting by clicking the Configure schedule button. Set it to defragment daily, weekly or monthly.

Defragment
---------------------------------------------------------------------

To defragment your drive immediately, select the drive you want to defragment and click the Defragment disk button.

Defragmenting takes time, so be sure not to use your computer during the process or turn off your computer before the process is complete. Turning off the computer before it's finished could damage the hard drive.
