What are contigous files?
Contiguous files are files on your hard drive that are all in one place, and not split up ( fragmented ). Sometimes your computer can take one file, and split it into multiple locations on your disk. This is what Defragmenting does. It takes those fragmented files, and puts them together.

What is a fragmented disk?
When a program is first installed on your computer, all the files are nice and organised. But as the program is used, these files start to get accessed by Windows. The files are then put back onto the disk in not the same orderly spot they came from. Eventually they are scattered all over the hard drive. This is called fragmentation. A fragmented hard drive is slower because Windows has to go searching for these fragmented files, thus slowing the system down. Running the defrag tool once every two months or so, organises all these files once again.
What tool can you use to defragment your volumes by recopying fragmented files to contiguous space on the disk?
