The built in is often time consuming an incomplete. I would recommend a 3rd party defrag. I use Diskeeper, its the best. They have free trialware at www.diskeeper.com

Yup! Diskeeper09, best defragger ever. Completely defragged over 250 GB data real fast, with less than 15% free space. More powerful than the previous edition.
