Quatrux 4 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 Also, I've heard that if you want to recover data, you should schedule your computer to defragment, if your hard drive is really full of fragments, you loose the possibility to find your require files after deleting them or after some kind of a crash, that is way it's better to have separate partitions, once for windows and it's programs, the other for permanent files which doesn't move to much or get overwritten by other files.That is why storing your files in My Documents and etc., in C disk is not really recommended, put your own files in a separate partition.
