It could be that you have very little disk space left and the drive is very
fragmented. Windows defrag utility has to re-assemble the file fragements
into contiguous areas on the disk. But if the free and contiguous space is
not there it either cannot complete, and require you to run defrag multiple
times, or it will take a long time to defragment the drive.
Run defrag and do the analyze function. Save to file and paste it in this
post and I'll try to tell you why it is so slow.
