My computer is a little slow, so I ran Vipre and it's not finding any viruses. I have about 25% free space of 60GB on my :C hard drive partition where the defrag is not working (running too quickly and not defragging much). I have about the same free space of 60GB on my :E partition for Data and My Documents folder where defrag is working OK. I have 512MB Ram with XP SP3 installed. I'm running Pentium 4 at about 2.8GHz.
I'm wondering if I should be running the Windows Disk Cleaner in any special configuration before running either defragger? During my earlier search for a solution to my problem I did see recommendations for others with a defragmenting problem that ran very long but didn't defragment (my problem runs quickly but doesn't defrag) including ATF Cleaner and TFC by Oldtimer. Not sure if I need any of these. Also I saw Diskeeper Lite recommended, but probably for a different kind of a problem related to defragging.
Since my Windows Disk Defragger ran for me for years on the :C partition, should I be trying to figure out why it's not running now before going to either of the defraggers you guys are recommending?
Sorry for being so long winded, but I want to make sure we make appropriate considerations before getting into an unrecoverable situation.
Thanks again for your help,

This doesn't sound right from my experience. If the system has not been defragged regularly, especially not with JkDefrag, then usually it can take quite a while for the first full defragment to run. It depends on how much data is on the drive also. And also how many hard drives are in the system, JkDefrag will automatically defrag all of them unless specified otherwise using the command prompt version.if jkDefrag takes more than a hour to defrag your drive...replace it
