Those files are probably in use and cannot be defragged. Or they are too
large, i.e.
6.96 GB Backup.bkf
I have absolutely no idea what thos .bin files are.
You must have at least 15% free space to defrag properly.
Defrag & Free Space
[[A volume must have at least 15% free space for defrag to completely and
adequately defragment it. Defrag uses this space as a sorting area for
file fragments. If a volume has less than 15% free space, defrag will
only partially defragment it. To increase the free space on a volume,
delete unneeded files or move them to another disk. ]]

[[Although the defragmentation tools can partially defragment volumes
that have less than 15 percent free space, for best results delete
unneeded files or move them to another volume to increase the free space
to at least 15 percent. You can also use the Disk Cleanup tool to
delete unnecessary files. For more information about Disk Cleanup, see
Windows XP Professional Help.]]
Before Using the Disk Defragmentation Tools

[[After you defragment a volume, you can view the defragmentation report
to see the results. The report includes a list of files that remain
fragmented (having two or more fragments). Some reasons that a file
might remain fragmented include:
* The volume lacks adequate contiguous free space to defragment all
files. Disk Defragmenter requires at least 15 percent free disk space to
completely defragment a volume.]]

I've already run chkdsk, and it didn't find any errors. I can try Safe
Mode, but I'm not sure that will work. I'll try it later. The drive
is a secondary drive and it contains only data. Here is a report from
defrag. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Run error checking on it, and then try again.. safe mode would be good

I have a secondard hard drive in my PC. It is 120GB in size and I am
using 87GB (72.5% used) of it. It is formatted as NTFS and the
cluster size is 4KB. Whenever I run defrag, you can see from the
analysis that it would benefit from being defragmented. Defrag
starts, but about 5 seconds later it
is done. You look at the report and nothing changed. Why won't
Windows defrag the drive?
