The only time I tried to defrag my hard drive was the day before my laptop went belly up. It is now at the computer techs getting a new hard drive. I know the two probably are not connected, that the little Presario died because I plunked it down too hard on the floorboard of my car when I was moving. But ... I just don't have the nerve to try to defrag again. I'm a'feered I'll screw up something essential again and I can't afford, in time or money, to be without my computers again...

So, if I be a good grrrrl and defrag, what are the ways I can really screw myself up and how do I avoid them?
