defrag issues

Windows XP pro defrag thing runs says complete anyalyze and it says volume needs to be defraged? Any idea what I am doing wrong or something else I should try? Thanks in advance.

Ok any idea why everytime after I defrag click analyze again it says it needs to be defraged again?

Why not just use the built in defragger?

The built-in defragger takes a long time to run too. You can download another defragger program for free (free trial) and it will run a lot faster than the one that came with Windows. You can even schedule it to run at startup.

You can schedule defrags with the built in defragmentation utility also. Is your entire hdd 1 partition?
