There are a number of things that will interfere with the standard Windows
Disk Defragmenter. I recommend you use the PowerDefrag Lite utility
described below:
PowerDefrag Lite is available as freeware at: http://www.powerdefrag.com
This program enhances the Windows 9X Disk Defragmenter by rebooting your
computer and running the defragmenter at a point during reboot when nothing
but Windows itself has kicked in -- instantly solving all problems with
interference from anti virus programs, screen savers, and such. Plus,
defragmentation goes very quickly in that mode.
Hope this helps,
