Hope this help

Try scandisk before defrag.
Try use other utilities like Norton Speedisk.
Programs running causes restarts.
Boot to safe mode and run from there.
Tap F8 key as pc starting. Choose option 3, Safe mode.
centerv
Shut down all progs running in background first. Press <ctrl><alt><del> all at one time and release highlight a prog and press [end task] do this to everything except for explorer and systray. Then try running defrag.
