What a defrag does is organize files on different sectors on the hard drive. For example; If you install a program, the files spread out and some go onto different sectors of the hard drive.

What stores the data which tells the computer how to load the operating system when it is switched on or rebooted?
A computer boots up by first running a program in Read Only Memory (ROM) that is built into the computer's motherboard. This program is called the Power-On Self Test (POST) and Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). After checking the hardware, the program consults a nonvolatile parameter memory (called "PRAM" or "CMOS" for historical reasons) that acts like Flash memory in that it can be changed but retains its information without power. From this parameter memory, the program in ROM decides where to look for the next step.Typically the next step is to read the first block ("boot block") off of the first hard drive into memory and run the program in it. Other options are to read the first block off the floppy, the CD-ROM, or from the network.In the hard drive situation, the program in the boot block figures out which disk partition is the active partition, loads the boot block from that partition into memory, and runs that program. This allows you to have different operating systems on different partitions and choose which one to run by changing active partitions.The second boot block program loads a more elaborate loader program from the disk, which in turn loads the operating system (finally!).Most PCs have a "BIOS screen" that you can get to by a key sequence (F1 or ESC) during the boot process. This BIOS screen allows you to change the nonvolatile parameter memory; however, it is possible to make changes that will keep your computer from booting, so be careful. For example, bad values in "RAM Timings" will cause serious problems.
