defragging

[Louise]

when i bought this PC windows98 hadnt been installed properly so we installed XP over the top but 98 is still there (it gives you the option which one you want to run when logging on).

 

someone said he was gonna get rid of 98 but still HASNT cus i only use XP.

 

can i defragg or will it [censored] everything up?

u mean format??? that will feck it up

 

defrags are for arranging files to open faster and sort out ure cluttered HD

de fragging isn't what you want to do (altho it should speed you up a bit)

 

what you wanna do (H Enfield) is back up your personal data, scrub the drive, and install XP.
