Would anyone know why I can't defrag my drive? It never

Please help.

Hi,
Boot into safe mode--press F8 at boot(right away, before the Windows
logo) and select safe mode from the Startup Menu.
Disable any screen savers and run scan disk and then defrag while in
safe mode.

Both scan disk and defrag don't run properly while other things are
running in the background. If your screen saver kicks in it will also
cause them to continually restart.
