How do I completely defrag my computer?

Ok, I’m using Auslogics DiskDefrag on a hard drive 76% full. When the defrag finishes it reports Fragmentation Before: 27.60%, Fragmentation After: 24.02%.

I updated MySQL to the latest version and lost the databases. How did that happen?

I’m using OSX 10.6.2, a couple days ago I updated MySQL from v5.1.39 to the latest version (5.1.41) by installing the pkg file from the official website. After that the databases were missing, as if I never used MySQL. Even the users were reset.
I have a backup of the whole hard drive, how can I restore the databases?
Why did that happen?
