With XP, I always defragmented in safe mode. I tried doing the same on my
new notebook with Vista Home Premium, but defragmentation doesn't start.
Nothing happens. I tried defrag without going into safe mode and it works
properly. I suppose we're not supposed to use safe mode for defrag.

I haven't tried to defrag in safe mode in Vista, but you don't need to. It
was necessary in XP either. By default Vista is scheduled to defrag once a
week at a late hour when the system is not normally in use. You can change
the time when it does it's defrag.

apparently it does not run in safe mode.
the defrag built into vista is less that adequate.
recommend you taking a look at

Auslogics Disk Defrag

runs on xp pro 32 and 64 bit as well as vista 32 and 64 bit.
fast and shows neat little moving boxes.

Defrag has been reworked for Windows Vista. There is no need to run it in
Safe Mode (nor was there really any need to run it in Safe Mode in XP
either)

there is nothing great in having to defrag a disk. it's a thing of the past,
obsolete in almost a decade.

your're still defraging disks, still using obsolete ascii charsets, ipv6 is
allready late and you don't even know what it is, still reserving a drive B
for a second floppy drive (you still use then?), still having file/folder
names conflicting with hardware (can't create names like AUX, CON, LPT1,
etc...), still in need of using filename extentions to determinate the file
type, and so on.

you're running a system that still has weird bugs that allready exists on
win95, and somehow you thing it's a new system... well it's not!
you're running win95 with patch over patch over patch and over patch, with
so many patches now that suffocates the system, and that's why now you need
1Gb of RAM to do a job that can be done with 256Kb.

microsoft has been making a fool of yourselfs and you thinks it's great...
