Default Badly Fragmented Hard Disk Degrading Performance

Last night before I went to bed I decided to take a look at my hard drive and see how fragmented it was. When I looked the fragmentation was pretty bad. So I did a defrag. Tis' morning when I looked at the report it told me some files could not be defragmented. Heres the report

Volume (C
Volume size = 128 GB
Cluster size = 4 KB
Used space = 85.34 GB
Free space = 42.65 GB
Percent free space = 33 %

Volume fragmentation
Total fragmentation = 22 %
File fragmentation = 44 %
Free space fragmentation = 0 %

File fragmentation
Total files = 106,559
Average file size = 1 MB
Total fragmented files = 381
Total excess fragments = 109,389
Average fragments per file = 2.02

Pagefile fragmentation
Pagefile size = 1,000 MB
Total fragments = 1

Folder fragmentation
Total folders = 7,810
Fragmented folders = 1
Excess folder fragments = 0

Master File Table (MFT) fragmentation
Total MFT size = 113 MB
MFT record count = 115,287
Percent MFT in use = 99 %
Total MFT fragments = 2

I can see why the bittorrent downloads won't defragment, but the rest I don't know about. I would love it if someone could help me out. I've tried to do a defragment in safemode and the same thing occurred.

What i did to remedy this problem is use a secondary hard drive for my utorrent working directory, and then set it up to move completed torrents back to the main disk, and in copying from one disk to another, correcting all of the fragmentation that occured.

you have to defragment your virutal memory upon boot

diskeeper can do it by running a boot time defragmentation

it just takes a few minutes
