Data fragmentation - is splitting files or programs into smaller pieces. When a computer saves a file, it looks for the next available piece of free space on the disk - not necessarilythe amount of space needed to save the file in one piece. If it can't save the whole file in the space it finds, it saves as much as will fit, then looks for the next available space - and so on. Each piece is a fragment of the file - the computer keeps track of where each fragment is.
