I like to make sure I have everything closed - no open application software
no open files nothing like that. It makes the process faster.

Just make sure nothing is going to try to write to that drive
while the defrag is in process, such as a screen saver, an
automatic update, E-mail, whatever. That shouldn't cause a
failure but will likely cause the defrag to start over, wasting
a lot of time.

I defragment in safe mode. I guess the automatic software will
defragment even when the system is running.
