Can anyone recommend me a good Disk Defragmenter that works similar to the one that comes with Windows XP. As in, one that lets me Analyze a drive to see if it needs to be defragmented, and of course lets me defragment it. The one that comes with Windows XP broke for me, so I need a new one that will at least let me defragment until I can maybe fix the default one.

Can I defragment the whole C: drive if I wanted to using this?
N/M, it answered my question.

scroll down towards the bottom of the page and you will see a link for "FREE" products. The 2 I use are the 'Auslogics Disk Defrag' and the 'Auslogics Registry Cleaner' they are both free, compact, fast and so far very efficient. I was turned on to them by the folks at Maximum PC magazine.
Anyway good luck.
Peace,
Chaz.

The XP defragger is a stripped down version of Diskeeper. Get the full version. It can be set to run automatically and defrags even under low free space. Its the best I have tried. There is a free 30 day trial you can checkout.
We've found that the Windows' built-in disk defragmenter really isn't sufficient by itself, if you choose to get it fixed. Recommend that you look for professional tools that automate the defragmentation process. This post offers some steps for choosing the right defragmenter for your disk: The Truth: Is the Windows Built-in Disk Defragmenter Enough? » TuneUp Blog about Windows.
I'm surprised that you write the defrag utility that came with Windows "broke". While it's not stellar, I've found it quite stable and adequate, with the glaring exception of its inability to defragment the MFT. I'm curious: what happens when you try to use it?
Of course, if MS set up the file system better, it wouldn't be much of a problem in the first place. Other OSes essentially have no issue with fragmentation, up until the point where the disk is nearly full anyway.
