Windows Disk Defragmentor does not Defragment the System files which are being accessed currently. Even the 3rd Party defragmentors cannot defragment those files which are currently being accessed.

I do not think there is anything wrong with your hard disk, but just for conformation , run this command in the Command Promt

chkdsk /f C:

where C is your drives letter.

some time whe u have large files on disk, and very little empty space, Windows Defrag tool fails to move them.... free up some space and try defrag then...
