Try this one out - I have used it several times and so far it is OK.

Oh, and this isn't uncommon BUT there seem to be several cures: this one sounds best to me;

what kind of defragmenter are you using? Windows defrag is a very poor program. Use something like diskeeper.

Diskeeper?

Hi. All,
I downloaded the freeware/trial version of Diskeeper and carried out a defrag of drive C. It told me I should defrag my paging file and I set it to defrag on reboot.
After rebooting it started to list multiple files as 'orphans'. I can't remember the rest of the process.
It subsequently rebooted only to freeze on a blank screen after about 30 seconds. This is always repeated.
I managed to run scandisk from the floppy drive, using a recovery disk but it tells me the hard disk C is 70% blank. It should read about 17% blank. This represents a loss of a hell of a lot data.
Is there a problem with Diskeeper?
I am sending this from another p.c. as mine is now unusable.
Any help greatly appreciated.
(This is my first post)

If you have important data, good time to slave your drive and recover what you can.

You should also realize that not files can be defragged. Some are considered system critical and are not allowed to be defragged by Windows. Yes, there are better defrag tools out there but event the best cannot defrag your HD 100%!
