My method of defragmenting was to delete everything - the regular method seemed a bit intensive and I was worried I'd do irreparable damage. After that the ntfsresize command took about 30 seconds. I then used GParted to delete and recreate the partition. The command completed in one second. Then I restored all the files in Windows (114GB or 280GB used) - Win XP's defrag utility now shows no defragmentation - the command takes 20 seconds.
