Desktop Drive cleaning for Defragmentation

Desktop Drive cleaning for Defragmentation

The following are the steps to clean your Desktop hard drive and removing the Dirty bit which causes fragmentation in your systems

Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another CMD prompt (Start-Run-type "cmd" and press ok)  and now you want to do a Chkdsk manually by typing "Chkdsk /f /r d:".

This should take you through 5 stages of the scan and will unset that dirty bit.

 Finally, type "fsutil dirty query d:" and Windows will confirm that the dirty bit is not set on that drive. Good luck!
