Scandisk is a diagnostic program which checks for incomplete files. It is usually run after a power interruption. Defrag is a program than reshuffles the data on the disc to collect together the fragments of files into larger chunks. This minimises the amount of time taken to read the files in the future.

∙ 14y agoFragmentation is when data on a hard drive is broken up on on the hard drive platter. More pieces cause the system to slow when trying to retrieve all the pieces to make up the data your trying to access. De-fragmentation is when the pieces are put back into bigger chunks and/or relocated nearer to each other.

What type of device gathers and converts them into electronic form for use by the computer?
Gathers what? what is "them"? Im going to assume you mean print documents in paper form. The basic process is to scan the document and then use OCR (optical character recognition) software to convert the scanned image to an electronic document. Depending on the scale of the project, there is hardware that can process thousands of documents as fast as you can feed it to the machine. In most cases the conversion process is imperfect because software cannot recognize bad or illegible writing as well as humans can. This is the reason that 'data entry' jobs are so readily available.
