Jun 28, 0 4, Is its safe to operate computer while disk is being in defragmentation process while defragging because right now I'm defragging my HDD by third-party utility "Defraggler" and Paused the process because I want to know here in the forums.
Nov 7, 64, 2, , 6, Depend on what you are doing when it defragging. Just don't do anything that required heavy HDD access, surfing the web is fine, making video is not, etc. For HDD, defrag does help, instead of having a file fragmented, it make the read faster seq instead of random.

Or will it harm my computer? You can run programs, the defrag process should not normally break. However, you must be aware that the defrag will reset and start over every time something is written in the partition you are defragging.
I do not know if that has an impact, but you certainly run the risk of defragging for a long time - or never if HDD write access is often more than once a minute for that partition. In the end, it is not because using apps is a risk to the data or the HDD, but much more because the defrag process will never be able to do anything.
As much as it might be unpleasant, I do suggest stopping all applications that have even a remote chance of writing something on the partition you want to defrag. If your applications are too critical to do that, I would then heartily suggest buying a second PC and setting up a cluster. That will give you the possibility of taking one machine offline to do maintenance, while the other takes up the critical functions.
A cluster is two or more servers working as a single unit. That is, any client connecting to the cluster connects to one of the servers in the cluster, but does not know and cannot choose which one. The more servers are in the cluster, the more client requests can be served concurrently. Clustering allows for exotic services like load balancing a new connection is directed to the least-burdened server in the cluster and high uptime values six 9s, or OK, I think that this became a lot more complicated than it needed to be..
In Windows 98 the defrag would act just like pmonett explains.. So you can run a successful defrag while you have applications open it just won't defrag the files you have open.. Red Flag This Post Please let us know here why this post is inappropriate.
