As far as it not starting at all, it would be hard to tell. But often defrag is put
in a loop because a program in the background is trying to access or change files
on the drive. Defrag automatically restarts when it detects any activity on the drive.
These programs could be really anything, but are most commonly anti-virus, file sharing,
and anything else that would cause activity in the background.
If it works in safe mode, then this is most likely your problem.
If it doesn't work in safe mode, you are probably dealing with something different.
