Power Defragementer. It gets it done in half the time of most programs.

You might have a metafile issue. Also the payware version of UD works better than the free version and is only $22.

Personally, I use PerfectDisk . . . you can try out the 30-day free trial before you purchase it, if'd you like.
Probably one of the best disk defragmentation programs I've ever used . . . very thorough, you can have it defrag individual files, folders - or even ignore specific files and folders . . . and it can optimize the HDD as well - as others have pointed out, it can easily tackle numerous HDDs without any impact on how quickly or efficiently it works (it can handle my 5 HDDs without a sweat) - for multi-core users, IIRC, it's a multi-threaded app as well . . . it's also able to defragment the pagefile and bootup sectors during system boot. I run it about once a month, and even with the vast amount of file operations I perform (sometimes moving upwards of 10GB+ from one HDD to another), installation and app removal, none of my HDDs have become any worse than 1% fragmentend.
Only thing I don't like, when you first install the program, it installs two services to WIN registry. Both services start automatically at system boot, even though PD does not run unless you open it (although, you can set it to run in the background). After installation, you'll have to manually go into services.msc and set both of these .exe to "manual" if you don't want them to load with WIN startup.
