No, you don't have to do this at all. I advice to shut down your anti-virus programmes while you are installing the game. I don't recommend you to defragmentate your driver, because you will have a very small chance to crash your driver.

What are you talking about, sir?Originally Posted by Animosity!
Defragmenting isn't necessary, but it is recommended. Why? It might help if you're game is laggy. Files on your hard disk are not placed in a perfect order. Some files are divided and placed in several locations over your hard disc. That makes them hard to read. Defragmenting places all the files in order and unites the divided files. Now that you know what it does, you can decide yourself whether to do it or not.

I knowYour pc can makes mistakes and crash your pc never heard about it? When you defragmentate your driver, it wil place software on a other place. If your pc is making an mistake,(yes he will do this often) the software or driver will be damaged. I know people where this happened to.
For people with valuable word docs or mod stuf: don't do it you might lose it or make an backup.

"A very meaningful quote of a outstandingly wise saying from a historicly boundless important person"
Famously, a curse has been attached to opening Timur's tomb. In the year of Timur's death, a sign was carved in Timur's tomb warning that whoever would dare disturb the tomb would bring demons of war onto his land. Gerasimov's expedition opened the tomb on June 19, 1941. Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany, began three days later on June 22, 1941. Shortly after Timur's skeleton and that of Ulugh Beg, his grandson, were reinterred with full Islamic burial rites in 1942, the Germans surrendered at Stalingrad.
