In the case the Mac OS has been badly fragmented - but is still healthy and functioning proper - I would opt to CLONE it to another harddrive, and either swap the Cloned disk back, or Erase the fragmented drive and Clone it back in an unfragged state (keeping the other drive as a backup). Mac OS-X is pretty good at defragging its operating system on its own (unless the hard drive has filled up and forced it to write into a fragmented state) so generally we do not have to worry about defragging the System and Applications folders. The best way to defragment a Mac harddrive is to copy our data folders-files over to another disk, delete the originals, empty the trash completely, and then copy them back onto the drive.

On the Windows PC XP and Vista Platforms, open space can be found under Properties.ĭEFRAGGING a boot hard disk is generally a Windows “PC” thing, but we Apple Mac users do need to watch how we manage our data. Check free space by 1) click on hard drive icon, 2) Command+I (File> Get Info), and note Available space.

If all you are doing is Microsoft Word and E-mail, I would keep a minimum of 30 GB free unused space available - this allows the operating system vital unused space to write its swap files, virtual memory scratch disk.įull hard drives also tend to fragment system and data files and greatly slow disk access down, too. If you run Photoshop scratch disk off the boot drive, I would recommend at keeping at least 80 gigabytes Available space (this free space need to be relatively unfragmented for Photoshop to run properly). SECOND, be sure you have a lot of free unused disk space on your hard drives - a hard drive that fills up and turns flaky is nearly impossible for me to get back to normal without Erasing reformatting. This is important because the disk may be hanging on by a thread and the most basic procedure may lose the drive and data forever.īe sure to back up all critical MAIL folders, DOCUMENT folders, FINANCIAL data files, iPHOTO and iTUNES folders and PREFERENCE files.

After I’ve ruled out the two-percent by removing whatever I recently added, I will start with the Mac OSX basics:įIRST, before we start any troubleshooting or System or hard drive maintenance procedures, it is important that we BACK UP OUR DATA to other drives or CD or DVD media. When a computer starts acting flaky - unstable, crashing, freezing or generally misbehaving - it’s a corruption issue 98 percent of the time (unless we’ve recently done something to it, and there is 98 percent of our clue).
