What is the OS flavor? What kind of environment is the machine is? Is it standalone? How is defrag being started?

If you are using any flavor of XP, go to start->Run. Type "dfrg.msc". If defrag pops up that way, check your Disk Defragmenter shortcut properties. Right click and check to see if is like the following:

Target: "%SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc"
Starts in: "C:\WINDOWS\System32"

Let me know if that does it.

Click Start and in the Run box type in cmd and press Enter.
type in chkdsk /r and press Enter.
Acknowledge the prompts and restart the PC.

When it has been through the stages and it has restarted.
Click Start and in the Run box type in cmd and press Enter.
type in defrag c: /f

Let us know how you get on.
