DOS Defrag

Starting with DOS 6, Defrag is a utility that defragments the hard disk. Some users run a defragmenter every day, others every couple of months. It's up to you. Defragmenting will improve the performance of applications in which you continuously update the data. If done routinely, it will help reduce wear and tear on the hard disk. Follow this procedure to defragment your hard disk:

1. Delete all unnecessary files on the disk.
2. Quit all running programs, including Windows.
3. Check for lost clusters by typing chkdsk /f.
If prompted "Convert lost chains to
files?", answer Y.
4. Run Defrag by typing defrag.
