If your defrag is taking too long makes sure only windows is running, disable your
screensaver as this may keep resetting the defrag process.
Before starting defrag it's good practise to run disk cleanup (this will give you
the sytems advice on what files to remove) and maybe scandisk (first time only, then
as needed) this will make sure your disk is empty of unneeded, unwanted or unnoticed
files and make sure there are no errors on the drive.
A regular defrag will keep your machine running smoothly. The first defrag will take
a while but the following shouldn't take as long.
My advice is to do it over night, over lunch or even split the disk clean up and
defrag into seperate sessions so your not waiting for the clean up to finish before
you start the defrag.
Happy cleaning
