Can't defrag 2000 Server

Hi, I recently started managing a Windows 2000 terminal server with about 20
users. The server is periodically hanging for all users and after examination
I found that the C: drive is almost totally fragmented. I tried running
defrag through computer management but though the task runs for a couple of
hours using about a quarter of the processing power the drive does not defrag
and defrag ends without any notifications.

I have run chkdsk and it reported errors/quits after completion of the 2nd
step and starting security descriptors. It says to run in /f mode but does
not find any problems upon reboot. The array controller reports the array
(RAID5, 4 DISK) reports the array is functioning fine.

What is the best place for me to start fixing this problem? Is there a good
utility for fixing corruption on an ntfs volume? Is there any way for me to
easily determine the problem?

Thanks,

David
 
The defrag utility shows the whole disk as being red with about 7 slivers of
blue amoungst system files shown green. There is no white space shown even
though there is 28% free space on the drive.
