Believe it. A successful DOS defrag of a Windows system would have disastrous results - fortunately for you, the defrag executable is a Windows program, and cannot be run from DOS

Saying that XP is the most stable MS OS is like saying that asparagus is the most articulate vegetable

If you are trying to defrag without too many Windows programs getting in the way try it in Safe Mode.
