Problem w/ Disk Defrag

When I run disk defragmentor get a message stating that all files could not
be defragmented and I should review the report to see which files could not
be defragmented. But when I view the report there seem to be no files
indicated. What's up? How do I get a complete disk defrag? Thanks

How many files are not defragmented? The Report gives this information.

On my system it discloses one file, which is the MFT (Master File Table)
but never included in the list of fragmented files. Another file which
is never listed is the pagefile. It so happens that the pagefile on my
system is not fragmented so I have accounted for the files which remain
fragmented after running Disk Defragmenter.

You are not reading the Report properly. This is the relevant bit!

File fragmentation
Total files = 59,721
Average file size = 379 KB
Total fragmented files = 1
Total excess fragments = 17
Average fragments per file = 1.00

The fragmented file is the MFT, which is never listed!
