Defrag on my PC (4 gig HD, 2 gig partition, 200 MMX, 96 MB) takes about 10
minutes now ...that's full defrag and error checking. The longest time was
around 20 minutes.
Sometimes the defrag program will cycle over and over. When that happens,
I shut down the computer and power off (cold reboot), then run scandisk
first followed by defrag. Never had any cycling problems with defrag after
the cold reboot.
