XP itself does not need regular defragmentation of an NTFS boot partition.
However, I've found it wise to do a defrag immediately before using my
partition imaging program. That is, before imaging the XP boot partition.
Since this occurs once a week here, so does a defrag. I also do similar
before the monthly cloning.
Another personal observation, the defrag that comes with XP is somewhat
crippled compared to its retail counterpart. Along those same lines, beware
retail defrag software advertisements. They are, in my opinion,
exaggerating immensely.
