How Do I Defragment My Computer In Windows 98?
Whenever a computer writes data to the hard drive, the information is written in a random manner so the data ends up being scattered around the drive in a haphazard manner. Over time (especially if the hard drive is slow or of a large size) this causes the computer to slow down since it takes longer for it to find data that has been stored in random places on the drive. Defragmenting a hard drive consolidates and organizes the data, making it easier for the computer to find and therefore generally increasing its processing speed. Turn on your computer and log in to Windows 98. Click on the “Start” button, select “Programs,” click “Accessories,” click “System Tools” and then click on the “Disk Defragmenter” program. Click on the hard drive that you wish to defragment. Click the “OK” button and then the “Yes” button. Windows 98 will begin to defragment your hard drive.
