When your hard disk contains numerous fragmented files and folders, your computer takes longer to access them because it requires several additional reads to collect the various pieces. This scattering of files and folders across a hard disk is known as fragmentation. The parts of the files and folders are scattered over the hard disk rather than being in a contiguous area. Windows XP Professional saves files and folders in the first available space on a hard disk and not necessarily in an area of contiguous space.
