The Windows Defragmenter is really the only one I've ever used. You can find this in
Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tool -> Disk Defragmenter
I've also messed around with one but I cannot remember if it's free or not. It's called SmartDefrag and it does a pretty good job. Haven't really compared it with the Windows Defragmenter though.
What else can I help you with?

How can you defragment a disk?

When do you run disk defragmenter?
Disk defrag must be run regularly (or set to auto defrag) to keep the hard drive free of fragmentation and maintain the performance of the computer at a high level. Fragmentation of files (occurs 'naturally' when you write or modify a file on the hard drive). Windows comes with a built-in defragmenter, but it's not very good IMO: it's very slow, doesn't defrag all files (especially important system files), doesn't defrag properly when disk space is low, and is not flexible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Its good to be proactive when it comes to defrag because once the fragmentation levels become high or if your free space drops below 15%, it be comes very difficult to defrag with the native disk dferagmenter. It also takes a very long time to complete the defrag.
You have Windows XP and it will not defrag so does anyone have the answer?
Some common reasons for problems in defragmentation are- (1) Not enough disk free space since the XP defragmenter needs atleast 15% free disk space to defrag. (2) Fragmented system files such as the Master File Table (MFT) or the Page File. The XP defragmenter cannot defrag these. You can clear up some disk space by doing a disk cleanup with the 'Properties' option by right clicking the drive in 'My Computer'. To get around these issues, especially (2), you'll need a third party defragmenter such as Diskeeper 2009. Diskeeper can also defrag in very low space conditions, as well as defragment the MFT and Page File. You may need to run a boot-time defrag after a conventional defrag to completely defrag these system files.
What if you can not access your disk defragmenter?
You can try and defrag in Safe Mode, after a diskcleanup and chkdsk. If that doesnt work, go in for a third party program. There are many options, free and paid. Some like Diskeeper are completely automatic and defrag even if you have less than 15% free space. Google and check out trial versions.

(get Diskeeper and run a normal defrag followed by a boot-time defrag). ---------- Another user said: It can due to many reasons, lack of free space or program interrupting (run itin Safe Mode). If this doesnt help, try a third party trial version. Some work faster and more efficiently than the built in.
