[Thinkpad] Windows & H/D Defragging

Is it normal for Windows XP to become heavily fragmented (on the H/D) after
just a day or two of light use? I'm running Diskeeper 7.0 as my default disk
defrag utility on my 600X and after just a day or two of web surfing, it
claims that the disk is heavily fragmented and needs to be defragged. Also,
do different defrag utilities perform the defrag procedure in different
ways? Seems Windows wants to put files and directories in differents
locations on the hard drive than Diskeeper does. Is one better than the
other? Thanks in advance.
