why is my computer suddendly so slow after defraging my hard drive. It keeps making the ticking noise of the hard drive accessing something but I show no operation in progress. Every command now has a delay, or even locks up the computer before it will execute. It doesn't matter whether I'm on the internet or not.
 

Any noise from the HDD is not good ! Backup all you can, while you can.
Ticking or clicking noise indicates drive is failing, and all the HDD activity on a defrag just made it worse !
