Could be any of several things:
=====================
1. De-frag needs some free space to maneuver, for example; typically, it needs about 15% of the total drive capacity to be open, so files can be shuffled around during the fragmentation. If your drive is very full, you may not be able to de-frag it. If this is the case, try deleting some files, moving files to another partition or drive or to backup, etc;
2.Errors on the drive may also cause this. Try running Scandisk or Chkdsk, and fix any problems that turn up.
3.In-use files may not be able to be defragged, either, because they're locked and in use. You can minimize the number of such files by running Defrag only in Safe Mode, or from the Recovery Console. If you're really desperate to achieve near-100%
fragmentation, you can run defrag several times in a row; each pass may squeeze out a few more percent.
But in NT/2K/XP, some files just won't get worked on much at all because they're always in use or protected in some way. You'll probably never achieve 100% fragmentation. But that's OK; a low single-digit percentage of fragmented files doesn't matter much, performance-wise.
So, if you defrag and end up with a few percent of files left fragmented, don't worry about it. Just defrag regularly--- every week or so is usually fine--- and you'll be OK
