Thanks Hal.  I had done that many times and tried about a dozen times to 
defrag it with Diskeeper, all to no avail.  I bought a different defrag 
program called Perfect Disk and it defragged it.  Now Diskeeper shows that 
it has been defragged.  But it is a small partition and I don't know how to 
make it bigger.  Its 1 gig in size, with only 244 mb free.  I guess I just 
need to be sure to defrag it on a regular basis just like I do the C drive.
