Disk fragmentation causes files on your computer to be scattered on different parts of the disk. This usually happens when you install some application or delete a large number of files. When the files are stored in a contiguous space on the hard disk, the system must do extra work to retrieve files from the disk.
The old DOS and early Windows utilities may be no more, but the concept is the same. Defragmentation puts these pieces back together again. The result is that files are stored in a continuous manner, which makes it faster for the computer to read the disk, increasing the performance of the PC.
