Windows defrag has issues at times with the defragging process, use a third party defragger such as Disk Defrag form Auslogics.

The defrag snap in is called dfrg.msc . It should be in windows\system32, at least on my computer it is.
See if you can get a copy off your windows CD or the recovery partition or however your computer restores stuff. Try to search for dfrg. and see if you can find one. If you do, copy it to the system32 folder. If you find dfrg.ms_ you have to do an expand. Note the location (let's pretend it's c:\i386). In the run box type:
expand c:\i386\dfrg.ms_ c:\windows\system32\dfrg.msc
and try again.
