  • alphacomputerca

    Check out my video on Chkdsk @cooldesertknight This might be of help.

  • alphacomputerca

    Hi Jash @neojash Defragmentation will not hurt your hard drive. It will put broken file pieces together for quicker loads of files and programs. Go to my alphacomputer.ca website Computer_Maintenance page for more details.

  • cooldesertknight

  • neojash

    Hi! I’m Jash! I always like to have a perfect knowledge before i do something new!
    Can you plz tell me what is defrag? OR What is defragment? Why do we defrag our hard disk? What does it do to my hard disk?

  • alphacomputerca

    @lolfag01 I love it when good things happen to a computer that needs to be whipped into shape. It’s great helping people get up and running again with a faster machine. Thanks.

  • alphacomputerca

    I was using Virtual PC with Windows Vista @xsunwukongx Now I can do this with WIndows 7 Professional

  • xsunwukongx

    Are you running Windows Parrallel on Mac?

  • lolfag01

    i fucking love you <3

  • Gennady100

    @alphacomputerca Ok thanks so much :)

  • alphacomputerca

    @Gennady100 Click Start>>All Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>Disk Cleanup. When you are given options for files to clean out, you will see that most are temporary files and safe to remove. I also like CCleaner for removing temp files.

  • Gennady100

    @alphacomputerca how do i do disk cleanup? and will it remove things that i might want?

  • alphacomputerca

    Look for my video on run chkdsk @Bestever2Pac You should be able to find it with the rest of my videos. It will show you what to do to proceed ahead. Let me know how you make out :-)

  • alphacomputerca

    SQM – Windows Live Messenger Log File (Microsoft Corporation) @Gennady100 They were not created by defrag. Did you do a disk cleanup before doing a defrag. Temp files build up that just sit on hard drive. Removing them using “Disk Cleanup” will make more room on hard drive.

  • Bestever2Pac

    hey ive tried to defrag in that same place in the vid but it says
    run chkdsk or sumthin like that plz help me out kus i need to defrag my comp

  • Gennady100

    I had maaaany red files parts, most of them are gone now, but i didnt see any difference in speed performance, and i noticed that there are a bunch of files, SQM files lieing around on my local disk (C) i dont even know what they do, were they created along with the defragmentation? as well as another fie with random letters as its name :(

  • Gennady100

    @alphacomputerca Ok then, thanks! I’m going to do it now :D

  • alphacomputerca

    I always try to have lots of room on my hard drive @DarkerKamz to keep it running fast. I change computers quite often to keep up with changing tech.

  • alphacomputerca

    I liked it too @Polyunki Maybe in the next Operating System :-) It’s funny, people really liked the XP defrag. Microsoft should have left it.

  • Polyunki

    @alphacomputerca It’s a shame they’ve taken out all the detailed onscreen information, it wasn’t like it was hard to understand.

  • alphacomputerca

    Defragging will not change any file or folder locations in your file and folder system at all @Gennady100 It will join broken pieces together for faster loading, which is good.

  • alphacomputerca

    The defrag menu for WIndows 7@Polyunki is not that much better either. Works great though.

  • Gennady100

    I’m definetely going to do this, but i would lik to ask a question. Will this literally move my things around? for example might i find something that was on my desktop, later in my documents, or in program files?

  • Polyunki

    The defragmentation menu in XP is alot better than the one you get in Vista.
