but Fyron, this procedure is not meant for them. That is why Docktor Nårton says: "...if you don't know how to do that, You'll ought to stop reading right now, since your knowledge about datamachines is way to low.
Don't be surprised, it won't look like the disc on your turntable."

anyway, I defraggled my motherdisc and it worked great . Good thing I still had a box of Svinto in my kitchen from my Last trip to Malmö (Svinto is a Swedish brand of Steel wool added with soap, ask for at your nearest convenience store).

Since I had the motherdisc already open, I also decided to make a new partition. I used a few data chisels (a hacksaw also works good) to cut all the discs in two.

Be careful when you do this, that you don't mix up which parts belong together.

It is a bit more difficult than the standard defraggle process to get all the parts together after you devide the discs. But a little bit of peanut butter can be of great help. That also serves as a lubricant for later and makes your motherdisc run faster and more quiet.

Anyway... after I am done my motherdisc runs very fast and booting the computer takes almost no time. And now I have not only a C: drive, but also an Ö: drive .
