Default Problems with Defrag

Defrag never moves and it just stops on checking driver for
errors. What could be wrong with it? Thanks

Before running Defrag:

1. Run Scandisk

2. CTRL+ALT+DEL Close everything except (Windows) Explorer.

3. Do *nothing* with the machine and allow Defrag to run to completion. If
it's been a long time since you last defragged or if you've never done it,
expect the session to take many, many hours.
