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.
