Each time I try to defragment the system will start the
procedure then crash when only about 2% into the
procedure. I'm at about 20% of space (it requires 15%) so
that is not the problem.

Suggestions?
 
Warren,

The only thing that can "crash" Windows is a hardware issue or a driver
issue.

I would suggest trying to defrag in Safe Mode. If that works, then I would
suspect that a driver is causing problems for you.
