Files are not stored in consecutive clusters.<\/p>\n<p>A fragmented hard drive is a hard drive where the files are not stored in consecutive clusters. This can happen when you delete files, add new files, or move files around. When a file is fragmented, it is stored in multiple locations on the hard drive. This can slow down your computer because the hard drive has to move the read\/write head around more to access the different parts of the file.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because the platters are the physical disks inside the hard drive. If the platters are bad, the hard drive will not work.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because data files are not corrupted. The files are still there, but they are not stored in consecutive clusters.<\/p>\n<p>Option C is incorrect because clusters of data are not damaged. The clusters are still there, but they are not stored in consecutive order.<\/p>\n<p>Option E is incorrect because option D is the correct answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;The platters are bad&#8221; option2=&#8221;Data files are corrupted&#8221; option3=&#8221;Clusters of data are damaged&#8221; option4=&#8221;Files are not stored in consecutive clusters E.
