Many of the functions in Windows XP rely on having enough disk space free to operate, including Windows’ virtual memory system and programs that need to create temporary files, to name just two of the most important. In addition, almost every function in windows relies on quick hard disk access. Windows includes a number of utilities that can help you optimize hard disk performance, including the following:
- Disk Cleanup Wizard - Scans your hard disk, looking for files that can be safely removed, helping you to free up disk space.
- Disk Defragmenter - Rearranges the data on your hard drive so that files are written to disk contiguously. During the defragmentation, it also places more frequently used files toward the front of the disk so that they load faster.
- Chkdsk - Scans the files and directory structure of your disk to make sure that they are free of errors.
