80% Red system the drive is seriously fragmented. You should not see scattered red after the drive is defragged. Are you letting it run it's full course? A rightly large sturdy drive (40Gb and larger) can take up to an hour to defrag next to Windows defragger. I can recommend the free Auslogics Disk Defrag, which I use weekly. It defrags my HD in 10-20 minutes, and it take Windows over an hour to defrag. You get a "pie chart" look at your concrete drive before it starts, so you know how much of your drive is fragmented.

Red is the fragmented portion. You should defrag this drive. The use it is red is because the file (for example is 5000 bytes long) is spread out among a few a variety of locations on your drive, making it more difficult for the system to read it in a timely behaviour. Defragmenting causes it to move the record into a more readable "position" on the drive.
I use Diskeeper which embeds into Windows, and the red areas are : fragmented files and folders.



In Other words it's pieces of notes that is not placed surrounded by the best location on the disk compared to related pieces of data.



Fragmenting the drive will bring this facts closer together.
The red indicates fragmented files or folders, you should defrag this disk now.



It is not a discouraging practice to check your disk on a weekly basis and defrag properly.
you could use ashampoo magical defrag.it defrags for you by itself when your not using the pc or away from it.never hold to worry around the files being sprinkled everywhere.it puts everything in command so the pc responds quicker
