Ensure that you have 15% free space and preferably turn off other program in order to prevent the task from hanging in between. Or simply go in for the fully automatic defrag programs that will run smoothly along with other programs and also defrag under low free space.

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.

This can be done using the Windows Disk Management tool. Simplest way to get to this is to right click on my computer and click manage. On the left pane, Disk Management is at your disposal. At the bottom of that window, right click on the disk partition you wish to change (or CD Drive for that matter) and click "Change Drive Letter and Path"

No, XP will format the disk if that's needed.
If you have the XP install disk available, drop it in the CD drive and reboot the computer. Before you do, make sure you copy anything you want to save to a floppy disk, a CD or a secondary drive because this will replace all data on your hard drive.
