I've been using Diskeeper Lite, a free utility to defrag my 'puter for
several years without any problem whatsoever. It's the light version
of Diskeeper by Executive Software that sells for $40 or so. It takes
less than 30 minutes to run on my computer. If interested you may
download from,

Try it; if you don't like it, simply uninstall it.

Perhaps both the Total Size and the amount of Free Space of your
disk
would
be a useful starting point. (Can be ascertained in My Computer
and/or
Windows Explorer)
N.B. Defrag requires some 15% Free Space to run, hence the more
Free
Space -
the faster it will run.

one week later......
did the same again. this time defrag took about 8hrs. on safe
mode to
complete.
honestly, in respond to your question .. drive used for other
things ??
or
burning to cd ?? or media files to slave drive, maybe all the
suggestions
made by you have the solution. except ..i wouldn't know where
to begin
and
resolve the problem. so that when i defrag on safe mode it
wouldn't
take
so
long. since i am doing it weekly. no i don't have adware nor
spyware .
i
have ez av/firewall/ spybot. simple/uncomplicated directions
..appreciated.
thank you. boni.

In ,
boni had this to say:
My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:
i do a scan disk & defrag in safe mode 1x a week, and it
takes
more
than 6hrs. and yes i did the delete/temp/history first
before
going
into safe mode. is there a reason why it takes so long ?
any
suggestions ?
thanks. boni.
Perhaps you have a bunch of stuff on your drive? Your drive
is also
being
used for other things? Have you tried defragging in safe
mode? Does
it
often
restart because it says contents changed or the like? Is your
drive
rather
full of stuff? If so then do you have the option of burning
it to CD
or
installing a slave drive and storing non-application files
and media
files
on the slaved drive?
