Hoe defragmenteren op een aangepaste manier:
That said, here's how to defragment your hard drive and your virtual memory.
First, turn off your virtual memory.
Go to START/Settings then Control Panel. Click "System" then the "Performance" tab. Click the "Virtual Memory". Next choose "Let me specify my own virtual memory settings".
Then check off "Disable virtual memory (Not recommended)". It's ok, we'll turn it back on later. This is so that we can defrag the part of the disk normally reserved for virtual memory. If it is on during defragmentation, that part of the disk is locked.
Next restart Windows.
Now turn all programs off in memory. To do this close any open programs, close any items in the System Tray in the bottom right corner of the screen.
If you have Windows 95, 98 or Me, hit the Ctrl-Alt-Del keys all at once to bring up the "Close Program" box.
This procedure is normally used to forceably remove any misbehaving programs. Select each item in the list (one at a time) and click "End Task". You may be prompted with another box when you terminate some programs. Simply click "End Task" in the new box to confirm.
Sometimes the program won't go away immediately. You may have to select it and click "End Task" a few times to get rid of some programs. Remove all programs from the list - by repeating this several times. Do not remove "Explorer" or "SysTray".
If you have Windows 2000 or Windows XP, hit the Ctrl-Alt-Del keys all at once to bring up the "Windows Task Manager". If this is the case first check the Applications tab. This should be empty. If not exit out and close any running programs. Under the "Processes" tab turn all items except those listed as "System" under the user column.
Now your computer will be running with very little in memory.
Before you start defragmenting you may want to check the disk by running ScanDisk. Start it by find it under START/Programs then Accessories then System Tools. Make sure you tick off "Automatically Fix Errors". If you have lots of time choose the "Thorough" test otherwise stick with the "Standard" test.
Now run your Defragmenter tool. Start it by clicking START/Programs then Accessories and then System Tools then Disk Defragmenter. When the program starts, choose to defrag drive C. When it starts you might also "Show Details" so you can see the program's progress on the disk. (Alternately, if you have Norton Utilities you can use the SpeedDisk utility instead.)
When this is complete, go back to your Virtual Memory in the System Applet (As above). Choose "Let me specify my own virtual memory settings". To calculate how much virtual memory you need, set it at 150 per cent of the RAM you have on your computer (this can be found on the General tab of the System applet).
So if you have 128 MB of RAM set the virtual memory to 192 MB. That should be your minimum and maximum setting so that Windows will set aside a fix block of space on your hard drive.
If that calculation results in a number more than 250 MB, then simply put a minimum and maximum of about 250 MB. There's no point in making your virtual memory really large. It doesn't help the machine any.
When you are done reboot Windows to restore your machine back to working order.
This should solve the annoying hard drive grinding. You should defrag your hard drive once a month and defrag the hard drive and virtual memory using the technique above once every two months or so.
