Verfo is correct, I'll post some before and after pics from Poochu's thread.

@Fudge, yours will put the blue with the blue, the red with the red, the white with the white, and so on and so forth.

basicly it puts all your files in the correct order. therefore your computer is nice and tidy and it works faster.

Defragmenting takes all the pieces of a file and puts them next to each other on your hard disk. It allows for quicker access to files since the computer doesn't have to search the whole harddrive in multiple places for the file.

Diskeeper is an awesome program for this FYI. Costs some money, but well worth it. My comp has run better than ever since I installed it after my last reformat and my harddrive has run much cooler than it used to (have a laptop).
