- When you install a program on a clean hard drive, its parts are laid out in contiguous order.
- Contiguous means directly adjacent, so all the files would be stored next to each other.
- As you use your hard drive, programs and their files begin to become fragmented.
- By installing new programs, removing old ones, creating files and so on, the disk can become more fragmented over time.
- This is why hard drives need to be defragmented from time to time.
