If you do use the ScanDefrag utility, the log will list any processes that
are running. Also, it may take longer just because it has not been defraged
before. Good luck.

I guess I will have to do that. I seems odd however that with the out

excessively long to do this task.
The more I added the worse it became as expected, but not to this
extent.

Why would it take this long just to defrag about 40Gigs on drive C?
Drive D (80 Gigs) takes so long that I just havent bothered.

Seems that everything is a bit slow on this computer but I figured
that is because it probably has a 5400 RPM drive to save power.

Thanks

You need to understand there are many factors that will affect the
time it takes to defragment. You can search for and read the many
articles that have been written on the subject and a good place to
start might be the Microsoft web site. I've been using a versatile
utility called ScanDefrag that I've had good success with, but I
schedule it to start and run "off hours" and to shutdown the
computer when it finishes.
