Amen.
May I suggest you kill everything in the background prior to running thisâ the program may have to start anew whenever something new gets written into the drive.
Seriously, run defrag in Safe Mode. That's how you maintain sanity.
Though... I have two HDs; the 2GB drive that came with the computer and a 20GB split into three partitions, all nearly full. Last time I defragged, the two partitions I did took about four hours less than the 2GB primary. Sucks.
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
