Defrag will never run successfully with Norton's anti-virus program NIS 2008 running in the background. Entering Safe Mode will not disable the antivirus program if it is being loaded from the ROM-BIOS.

Go to BIOS and there disable the anti-virus program from running at bootup (i.e. uncheck appropriate option and then save the changes).
