For the longest time, my computer was running ridiculously slowly, and I had no idea what was wrong with it. It turns out my hard drive was fragmented — meaning that a lot of my files were broken up into little pieces and scattered all over the hard drive. No wonder it was running slowly! I was relieved to discover how easy defragmenting my hard drive could be.
