Note
Sometimes, after a hard disk has been used for a long time,
its data becomes fragmented, causing the disk to perform
less efficiently or produce errors. If this happens, check your
operating system manual for procedures you can perform to
reorganize your data on the hard disk. If those procedures
(or a commercial defragmenting utility) do not solve the
problem, you may want to reformat the disk by following
the instructions in this chapter.
