Well after my hard drive slowing down I bought Norton 2002 installed it and it has now been defragging for 18 hrs!!!
It was only done 20 days ago so whats the deal with the 18 hrs?

I had this problem before and I found out that it was programs running in the background that were interfering with the defrag program.
Any Norton utilities are notorious for this.
Make sure nothing is running in the background.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and shutdown everything but Explorer and Systray.
I hope this helps you out.

Thanks, It appeared that I had loads of things running in the background - system resources has now gone from 39% - 85% and the machine is working a whole lot better
