Sissy,
They usually start over again, because something is running in the 
background.  You probably have a program running continuously, like 
anti-virus, firewall etc.  Each time that program does a scan or checks 
anything, it disrupts the defrag or scan disk, and it will start over.  You 
need to right-click on each item in the system tray and exit each of those 
programs.  ( Bottom right-hand side of screen.)  Stay offline while you do 
this, so you won't have to worry about security while those programs are 
disabled.  Then, when you restart your computer, they will come back.
