Problems with Windows Defrag

[bostesseger69]

Like the title says I'm having problems with defrag on my rig.

The last 3 months or so I will go to defrag every month or so, and leave it on and either sleep, or go to classes, or do something else.

I usually come back 6-10 hours later....and it's still not done.

What could cause this? The drives I am defragmenting are 2x 750gb WD drives, Is there something better than windows default defrag software, for free?

Thanks for the help ahead of time.

"Join your hard drive fragments together into a tight bunch with this freeware. Auslogics Disk Defrag's interface couldn't be any cleaner or easier to use."

JkDefrag has a lot of handy sorting options. You can run it from a BartPE CD as well, to avoid having running programs interfere with the defrag process.

I also have been happy with JKDefrag.
