Run Defrag

Windows disk defragmenter is standard utility

Click: Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System tools -> Disk Deframenter

For each drive ...

Click: Defragment

NOTE: This can take some time [ie., many minutes] to complete

I have written an MS Visual Basic Script which you can get here: DMHD.vbs
It will clean and defrag multiple hard-drives on win98 and xp. Right click and save as 'DMHD.vbs'. Double click file to launch.

NOTE:Your antivirus and antispyware programs will 'sound an alarm' when you try and run this script. This is normal, as many malicious programs use scripts too. All we can do is make the code available, and leave it to your discretion. Mcafee SiteAdvisor Gives us a 'Safe' rating.
