DEFRAG cant get pas5 50%

Scandisk surface scan is ok.

Defrag can't seem to get past 50%.

It just keeps working as if its on a large file, the lights keep going, but
it doesn't get past that point.

Any ideas?

I would partition the hard drive so that I could put all large files on one
area and then I would not need to defrag it.

See the defrag and scandisk troubleshooters located here:

What may be happening is that defrag is encountering a corrupt file.

Be sure your antivirus and all other applications
are not running when running defrag.

Did you try defragmenting in safe mode? Also you could try out a third
party defragmenter.
