Speed Disk which comes with Norton Utilities for NT (or as a standalone
product I believe) will defrag NTFS volumes.
My drives are all NTFS & I use it all the time.  It's reasonably quick & can
run in the background without affecting performance too much.  It also tells
you which files are fragmented.

If you want Speed Disk I would get the standalone product (if available) as
the rest of NU sucks, especially the disk check utility which reports non
existance errors & persists in giving error messages.
Disk Doctor which runs in the background eats RAM as well whilst the
uninstall utility takes over the recycle bin & apparantly doesn't uninstall
properly.
