Yeah, the burners are pretty tempermental. Especially older ones. They need quite a bit of resources to work properly, so I would shut all the other stuff off.
Start the defrag before you go to bed and it should be done in the morning. Make sure nothing else is running (even a screensaver) and turn the monitor off. I do it about once a month and it only takes two hours. Also, disk clean up and scan disk are your friends. Do each one a week, and it will help speed things up a little bit. By the way, I DELL just shipped my brother a 2.0ghz tower with all the goodies for about $550. Just a thought if you're looking to upgrade sometime in the future, slickdeals.net gives the heads up on DELL specials, and other interesting stuff. If you do the maintenance on the Compaq, it should work for you though.
