hey Geeks Tim Tibet here with
majorgeeks.com and today we're going to
take a look at how to use OS logixs disc
defragmenter you've got a lot of choices
in this defragmentation including the
one that comes with Windows it's not the
best although the Windows 7 is an
improvement over previous versions
you've probably got five or six just off
the top of my head the io bit um pure
and Def frag stuff like that that all
work very very well the OC logic disc
defrag is no exception it's probably as
close to a five-star program as you're
going to get it's an excellent program
I'm going to just show you some of the
basics on here on how to use it once
you've installed it this is your welcome
screen uh it's got some Grace little
utilities down here to check for Junk
files scan your registry and do a
security check on your system while it's
doing that let me tell you or remind you
those who don't
know the hard drive can be one of the
biggest problems your computer has more
moving Parts it's more likely to fail um
it's also a bottleneck you can have
these processors now 2 4 6 eight
processors on there 8 gigs of RAM you
got all this horsepower but then your
hard drive could be the one thing to
slow you down this is why you want to
clean these files this is why you want
to defragment these files to keep your
hard drive running fast to keep it
running smooth and to keep your drive
Health in its best shape okay
essentially as you can see it found some
junk files some registry errors pretty
common no security y me and uh you can
go through and figure out what you need
to do with them however I wouldn't worry
too much about that right now what you
want to actually do is go up here into
your settings before you run the program
of course keeping in mind you can run
the program fine just the way it is but
under your program settings there's a
couple of things I like to check under
the algorithms tab I like to delete the
temporary files before defragmenting as
you just saw skipping fragments is
optional depends on your time if you've
got a couple hours to let it sit those
big files take a while to move so go
ahead and leave that unchecked and this
one as well will take a lot more time
but what this does is it moves the files
to the beginning of the disc so when you
start a program up it automatically can
get to the file fastest rather than
searching all over the drive for it uh a
good way to maybe explain that to you
would be if I had two stones in my hand
and I dropped one at your feet and threw
the other one 10 20 feet away which
Stone would you pick up faster you would
pick up the one that's right at your
feet faster because it's right there
that's similar to how this works on your
hard drive okay there's a couple of
settings to look at it has all the same
settings you're going to find right down
to the appearance you're going to find
these similar uh I bit has pretty much
the same options for
example let's see here so now I've got
the two drives selected because I do
have two hard drives depending whether
you want to do one or two you simply
just come in here and choose analyze
which you can do and it only takes
probably a minute at the top I've done
it a couple times so it might even be a
little faster and you can take a look
and and figure out the percentage of a
uh fragmentation on your hard drive so
let's just give this another second here
we're 78% it should fire off pretty
quick again this is one of the
advantages to some of these create
freeware utilities just how fast and
effective they are we've got uh 20
seconds in 23 24 seconds I've got my
drives analyzed that's two single
terabyte drives for a total of two
terabytes analyzed in about 20 seconds
now from here if you wanted to do this
before you went to bed you could do the
turnoff PC when you're done that's kind
of Handy uh I usually end up
defragmenting while I get a cup of
coffee or something so before you go to
beds and eat idea and all you need to
Simply do is come down here and defrag
which is just your basic defrag defrag
and optimize which we discussed with you
that's where you're going to want to
move everything around the drive where
it can be faster it's going to take a
little bit longer says once a week
depending on your computer use every
couple of weeks if you don't use your
computer much maybe even monthly and of
course a quick no analyze def frag the
only other setting you might want to
mess around with here a little bit is
you've got the scheduler um you can do
an automatic defragmentation windows
also has it built in with their own
automatic uh setups for their defrag in
this case you can do the when the PC is
Idle but I'm not a fan because it's
probably going to spend more time
defragmenting your hard drive than you
needed I don't think you need to write
to it any more than necessary obviously
so what I do is I come down here and I
think weekly is very good for most
people you hit your weekly pick your day
pick a time you're usually not around
and hopefully you're hard drive will be
defragmented when you're not there you
won't even have to worry about it pretty
much set it and forget it once again not
much to the program you can spend a
little more time in here you can go into
the manual all these different settings
in here but for the most part this right
here we'll get you to some of their
other programs uh they've got a lot of
great programs actually for the most
part as you can see it's actually pretty
simple there's only a couple things you
need to mess around with to really keep
your hard drive in great shape uh I'm
probably going to have to run this
myself I'm probably not too bad a shape
but I like to give it a good run of
course I'll run it as soon as I close my
programs don't forget to do that for
example I'm running my screen recording
program my browsers open stuff like that
anything you leave open these programs
going to have a hard time moving those
files well probably can't move those
files let me correct that because
they're in use so close down as many
programs as you can before you run it it
is that simple I really think you're
going to like it I think our readers
have it at a 4.6 I think it's a 4.6 out
of five all day long give it a try the
Link's right there in the video in the
description and we will see you next
time
