[Mid/High-Tech] How do you defragment the OS part on a hard drive?
Hello, I have been working with computers since 1997.
Today I am trying to figure out how to defragment the OS part of a hard drive.
Not simple normal Disk Defragment.
For example on windows 7.
when you click start. (search) disk defragment, and hit enter.
Thats a simple disk defragment, If I am correct...
That defragments everything on the hard drive, except the os, right?
AVG pc tuneup 2012 , had an option, that on restart you could defrag the OS part of the hard drive, giving the OS normally on average a 5.5% performance speed increase.
( depending on how bad it needs to be defragmented)
This is shown after I do a normal defragment.
Since avg pc-tuneup 2012 is no longer available, and the 2014 version does not have this feature. I need to figure out how to do this manually, or get a tool/program that does have this feature.

1 AnswerOther - Computers8 years agoI got some cpu Questions, about installing a new cpu? what is a cpu heater?
so im watching my friend put his new computer together, and he said he heard somewhere that there should be a cpu heater ....not sure if it was a hareware/device or a program.
but he says it should run the computer at max load or something to basically really heat up the cpu.
and what it does is make the thermal paste better??
---- what i replyed is
normally people keep the cpu fan half screweed in, and then start the computer for 5 mins. let it warm up, then turn it off and tighten the fans.. to get the best thin layer thermal paste..
am i correct? or is there something I don't know?
-----
also what is the pre- applied thermal paste for a amd fx 4170? its not arctic silver is it?
is there anything else we should know? or any tips?
