Imagine your DVD collection when you have just started collecting DVD's. When you want a certain DVD, you can easily find it because there are just a few DVD's on the shelf. But when your collection grows, the time you need to find one takes time. And when someone messed up with your collections and put the disk in a different case, you would end up hours of looking.Your collection my friend, in terms of computer data is totally fragmented.

When this happens to your computer, it takes time finding those pieces together to start a program! This slows down your computer. Solution is to DERAGMENT it.
