Ed, Maya
You don't say whether you're using the dos or windows defrag - i'm assuming
from Maya's comments that it's the windows. I'd recommend using the *dos*
version...that way there's guaranteed to be nothing else running. Start the
machine in dos rather than using a dos window.
It will still take hours - never did find out why - but the archives will
show lots of complaints about the dos defrag taking hours, and how to kill
it...leave it overnight!
