How it happens
A disk drive creates and saves a file by laying it in contiguous clusters on the disk drive. When that file is later read, the head in the disk drive moves directly from one cluster to another on a single track. The head stays in one place over that track and reads the file as the disk moves beneath it. As more files are written to the disk, they are also laid out in contiguous clusters.
