How to Speed Up Your Disk Drive
this has been trial and error for me so here is what I have found out so far.
For Windows only as I have no experience with Macs..sorry!
1. Close all open applications. Disable antivirus utilities,screen savers and other background programs. Make sure you've quit
all programs in Windows by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete once only.
2. Windows will show you a list of applications running. Highlight each application (one at a time) and click on End Task to close each one.
3. Double-click on My Computer to open the My Computer window.
4. Select the hard disk that you want to defragment.
5. Choose properties from the shortcut files menu. You should see the Properties window for the drive that you've selected.
6. Choose the Tools tab.
7. Click the Defragment Now button.
