Chapter 13: Maintaining Your Gateway M275

www.gateway.com

When working with files, sometimes Windows divides the file information into 
pieces and stores them in different places on the hard drive. This is called 
fragmentation, and it is normal. In order for your convertible tablet PC to use 
a file, Windows must search for the pieces of the file and put them back 
together. This process slows the hard drive performance.

The Disk Defragmenter program organizes the data on the drive so each file is 
stored as one unit rather than as multiple pieces scattered across different areas 
of the drive. Defragmenting the information stored on the drive can improve 
hard drive performance.

While the Disk Defragmenter program is running, do not use your keyboard 
or mouse because using them may continuously stop and restart the 
defragmenting process. Also, if you are connected to a network, log off before 
starting Disk Defragmenter. Network communication may stop the 
defragmentation process and cause it to start over.
