734228 2009-01-02 02:03:00 have installed defraggler, analysed c drive and it has come back with 161 fragmented files(14.1GB)

does it free up this space or something, and should i expect any problems after running defraggler?>

cheers

734229 2009-01-02 02:32:00 Never heard of defraggler. Defragging puts all yr files back in order again instead of being scattered as the HD gets used. Also poss remove unwanted files. Defragging is apparently a windows thing. Look up defragging anywhere and you'll get the full biz. Theory is not so much that it frees up space but puts things back in place therefore giving a time saving. mark c (247)

Defragment: To run a process that collects fragments of files and sorts them into contiguous sections on one or more hard disks or hard disk partitions, thus speeding up file management.

734233 2009-01-02 02:54:00 I'm surprised mine is 14.1GB, mind you i haven't defragged it since i got it, and that was over a year and a half ago :D GameJunkie (72)

You are right, smart defrag; that's "IObit smart defrag" is excellent. It is fast and leaves my HD with no fragmented files at all.
