Try jkdefrag [1] or its modern successor mydefrag [2]. I've worked with |
| 23 |
jkdefrag for some time. I don't know mydefrag, though. |

It's LGPL licensed. The GUI is a bit ugly but it has a lot of |
| 26 |
functionality and can handle cases in which the Windows defragger |
| 27 |
doesn't work. That mostly happens when the disk is nearly full. |

AFAIK all free and commercial defraggers use the same API that the |
| 30 |
Windows defragger provides, they just do their job more intelligent. |
