re: Defrags - don't do it ! Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 9:21 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MartinM (5127 messages posted) Carol, Unless you are experiencing problems, please don't bother defragmenting your hard disk. Even if you are experiencing issues, they're likely nothing to do with fragmentation. In normal use, most XP systems will run happily for their lifetime without needing to be defragmented and there's a small risk of screwing things up if you do it. Not worth it ! Needing defragmentation is a hangover from older systems, and one perpetuated by vendors of unnecessaary software, amongst others :-)) Written in response to: Defrags (Carol: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 4:13 am) There are presently no replies to this message.
