hmmmm... did you try all the other options first (ie. insert your windows CD back in and try to reinstall, etc.)?
sounds like everything was great until the defrag, which usually means a file gets screwed up, deleted,moved, etc.
b4 going to LAST likely option (ie bad drive), go thru the list that Tissue sent in the link.
if you already have done this, ignore all my comments above...

ps. reason why I said this, something similar happened to me - went out and bought new harddrive, and found out I didnt need to (simple file issue).
good luck!!
