How to Defragment Your Hard Disks
1. To launch the TuneUp Drive Defrag tool, in the Start Center under the Maintain System category, select
All functions followed by the entry Defragment hard disks.
2. Select which hard disks should be checked for optimization potential.
3. Select how defragmentation should take place according to the analysis.
TuneUp Drive Defrag offers you two different ways to defragment (see Defragmenting Hard Disks -
Introduction, p. 23) so you must decide before performing the analysis whether the method of
defragmentation should be dependent upon the analysis.
Out of the four options, the first one is preset because you will receive a personal recommendation after
the analysis and can decide yourself how defragmentation should proceed. For the other three options,
defragmentation starts as soon as the analysis is complete. If, however, the analysis determines that the
degree of fragmentation is very low, defragmentation will not be carried out for these three options
because TuneUp Drive Defrag deems it unnecessary.
Wait for result and then decide
We recommend this option for you. Once analysis is complete, you decide for every hard disk whether
you would like to run simplified or full defragmentation. You can also decide here to go without
defragmentation.
Automatically as recommended
TuneUp Drive Defrag makes the decision for you and defragments each hard disk as soon as the
analysis is complete using the mode suited to the degree of fragmentation.
Automatically thorough
You optimize your hard disk performance down to the last detail, even if this lasts a bit longer -
regardless of the analysis result.
Automatically fast
You want to save time and defragment each hard disk in the simplified mode, regardless of the degree
