It could be that you have something locking the drive. Maybe as you are having this
problem under DOS, it is something loaded in config.sys or autoexec.bat.
Try booting up in safe mode and trying defrag. If this fails, try booting with a
boot disk then using the DOS version. If either thing works, then you need to find
out what is causing the problem by a bit of detective work (can't help you there...)
