Boot to DOS, then you need to strip the hidden and system
attributes from all files. These are the files that defrag can't move.
IIRC, that would be 'attrib -s-r-h *.*' on the CL in C:\. At least you
don't need to be root ;> Check the syntax before you try it
('attrib /?'), it's been a _long_ time since I've fooled around in
Winblows. Defrag also does a better job if you Uncheck the 'speed up
programs' option and run it several times.
While you're at the DOS prompt, you can also clean up and compress
your registry. 'scanreg /fix', followed with 'scanreg /opt'
