Disk defragment - this is a kind of guidance of the order in the computer. Imagine a hard disk in the form of a bookshelf. All books are alphabetical, but someone inadvertently turned the regiment and put the burden. Now you need to set books on the alphabet. The same thing happens on logical disks.
