Defragmentation

[Joe]

Does the defrag program perform an error-check before
running or does it just run even if disk errors (cross
linked files, etc) are present?

[Nicholas]

You may wish to perform a "tune-up" that may help:

1. Perform a DISK CLEANUP:
(Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup)

2. Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the Command
Prompt window type: CHKDSK /F , and hit enter, answer "yes" and
reboot your computer. (CHKDSK =3D Error Checking)

3. Afterward, perform a DEFRAG of your hard drive.
