Ok, the other thing I also tend to do (and this is because I run defrag
immediately after Scandisk) is to turn of the virtual memory, restart
and then Ctrl-Alt Del and end task on everything except Explorer and
Systray.

I find this not only speeds things up but also allows defrag to work on
the hard drive without having to work around the protected areas.
