How often to defrag?

[Les]

Is it harmful to defrag weekly? I've heard that it
damages the hard drive to rewrite over sections
repeatedly. I'm running an older system and files
fragment frequently

Not at all. In fact I suggest you Defrag after every install and uninstall
as well.

I defragment, pretty much every day, sometimes more.

I defragment when XP's defragmenter tells me it's time to defragment.
