Yeah Jesse,You haven't said what operating system you are using, but if you are using Windows XP, you can click on start, all programs, accessories, system tools, and down to defragment files and folders. Once open click on the drive FS is installed on and click on defragment files and folders button or defragment. There is a button to analyze, but doing that first just adds to the confusion as the defragment button will analyze and defragment in one operation. Before doing this, I would also use the disk cleanup wizard found in the same manner except not in the defragment line.Windows does a FAIR job of defragmenting files and folders, however there are two programs I highly reccomend. CCleaner, which is free on line, just google that, and then to defragment I use Disk keeper. Disk keeper is not free, but does a very good job with defragmentation. There are others out there that are highly recommeded some payware, some freeware. If you browse through I think its the hardware forum here, you should be able to find out what people like and what they like about it. If you are using Vista, I am not totally sure where the system tools reside, but I am sure it is either in the start menue or in the control panel somewhere.I know that PMDG urges everyone using their products to keep their disks clean and defragmented.Hope this helps.John
