Can't run defagmenter

Hi. I'm running XP Pro SP2 on a FAT32 HD. Try to run Windows Disk
Defragmenter on c: and during the Analyze function, it keeps finding files
with errors and won't finish. Some of them are in a system.sav folder on the
root of c:, some are in the Windows folder, and of these, some are dll files.
I have well above 20% space free on c:. Does anyone know why this is
happening and what can be done about it?

Thanks

Try running a disk cleanup and also run chkdsk bfore the defrag. Or try
defragmenting with some third party tool, like Diskeeper Lite, although
its not the full version, its still worth a try.
