Disk Defragmenter

Disk Defragmenter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Disk Defragmenter is a computer program included in Microsoft Windows designed to increase access speed by rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations, a technique commonly known as defragmenting. The purpose is to optimize the time it takes to read and write files to/from the disk by minimizing head travel time and maximizing the transfer rate. As of Windows XP, Disk Defragmenter is also used to improve system startup times.

How to Reformat Your PC?

If your pc has detected a virus and most of your files and drivers are already corrupt, you need to reformat your pc so that it will not get worst. If you will reformat your pc, please take note that all your files in your pc will be lost. Nothing will be left inside your pc.

In order to reformat your pc, you need to have an Operating System.

What is an Operating System?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

An operating system is the software on a computer that manages the way different programs use its hardware, and regulates the ways that a user controls the computer. Operating systems are found on almost any device that contains a computer with multiple programs—from cellular phones and video game consoles to supercomputers and web servers, and even automobiles. Some popular modern operating systems for personal computers include Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (see also: list of operating systems, comparison of operating systems).
An operating system can be saved on a CD, floppy disk, or flash drive.
Let’s just pretend that our operating system is saved on a CD. ☺

• The first thing you need to do is turn on your pc and insert your CD or your operating system to the CDROM.

• Reboot you pc. There will be a command to press F12 to go to Boot Menu. When you are already in the Boot Menu, “Select a Boot first device”. You need to select a device. For us, it’s the CDROM because we are using CD.

• Press enter and there will be a command, “Press any key to boot from CD/DVD”. Press any key.

• Just wait for some minutes and a set up will come up. There will be instructions on how to set up Windows XP (if you are using windows XP), how to create a partition, and how to delete a partition.

What is Partition?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Disk Partitioning - is the act or practice of dividing the storage space of a hard disk drive into separate data areas known as partition.

• Probably, you already have a partition. Delete all your partitions.

• After deleting your partitions create again two partitions and divide the total size of the disk.

• You’re done creating partitions. If you can see that there is left unpartitioned space, just don’t mind it.

• Press enter to install.

• There will be a prompt that will ask you, “Format the partition using NTFS file system (QUICK)”, and “Format the partition using NTFS file system”. I recommend you not to format it quickly because sometimes there will be errors.

• Press enter to continue.

• Just wait for some minutes in order to install everything. You need to be patient.

• Your computer will reboot automatically, but you don’t have to worry about it.

• You will be asked to enter your name and the CD key. Enter the CD key and click NEXT, NEXT, and NEXT.

• Wait again for some minutes. Choose “Typical Settings” then click NEXT.

• You need to wait again and your pc will reboot automatically and its done. Your pc is now ready to use again.
