I have a rather peculiar problem.

The system I'm trying to defrag is currently 51% fragged, and, as you
can imagine, that's just much too high. I've tried defragging using both
Vista's built in defragger and the software Defraggler, but each time,
the fragmentation level goes UP by a percent or two when it's finished.

I've never encountered defrag issues on this level before. Any ideas?

The system is running Vista Ultimate 32-bit, with quite a bit of
hardware power behind it. If you need specs, ask (I'm not actually at
that computer right now, else I'd post them now).

Hi stwst try this link to a tutorial on defragmentation from a
commandprompt

I would recommend installing PerfectDisk (fully functional 30 day
trial-ware). Analyzing the hard drive with PD will show you exactly which
files are fragmented and the layout will often reveal what is preventing the
defrag from completing properly. One thing you didn't mention is how much
free space is available. A lack of free space is the main reason drives
can't be fully defragged in my experience. In any case I would start by
freeing up as much space as possible by running disk cleanup, removing all
restore points and shadow copies, and deleting the hibernation file. You
could also install and run Ccleaner, which will delete additional
unnecessary files.
