Trying to recover physical disk space.

My SQL Server databases grew large. I deleted un-needed data from some
databases. I then ran a stored proc that re-indexed the entire db. My
database was 1.1 gig no the properties says it's 292 mb after I ran
shrink database. I have a few other dbs I reduced in size. My physical
hard drive is 57% fragmented as reported by Disk defragmentor utility on
my Win 2k Adv Serv SP 4 server. I ran the defragmentor several times
and I'm unable to make any improvement. I also ran degfrag after
stopping all my IIS, SQL Server, and NetMeeting services. I still had
some other services running.
I want to defrag my physical mirrored disk volume.
