I can take a stab at this one if you'd like, Kim.
A "defragmented" file is one in which various elements or parts of the file
have been returned to a complete single entry. That is always best of
course since the file, theoretically will operate faster.
Conversely, a "fragmented file" is one in which this has not been done. In
order to make the best possible use of all the space on a hard drive, larger
files will be "fragmented" and the parts or "elements" will be stored
wherever there is room. When you call a file like this, there is rarely
anything that tells you the file is fragmented other than the fact that it
might take a bit longer to load.
In conclusion then, a defragmented file has been reconnected so to speak and
is now a complete item. I'm sure you already know this but if you have
enough fragmented files on your disk, it can seriously impact the unit's
performance. This is especially true when a large capacity hard drive is
involved and has not been provided with compartments or sub-drives.
I hope that this helps.
