Hello,

Each time I turn on or reboot the computer, the hard drive keeps "working"
for several minutes after Vista is loaded. What is happening to cause this
hard disk activity and is it possible to reduce or turn off whatever is
causing it?

Thank you!

Hiya,

Mostly this is the new superfetch service in action, it detects what
programs you tend to start up first on boot and starts to load them into
memory so they load quickly. Also it can be indexing, ReadyBoost caching,
defrag or anything else like that. All I would say is don't worry about it,
gradually after a few more days of this you will notice the machine loads
quicker after a reboot as it knows what to load and when.

My drive runs constantly. Start Vista, and it just runs, with or without me
doing anything. Makes me nuts to hear the chatter all the time.
any help?

Didn't you read Byron's reply? If you want to see what's running open the
Reliability and Performance Monitor. From Start | Run type Performance.
Click on the link when it pops up, and when opened, click on Disk and CPU in
the right pane to see what is happening.

I have the same problem. The H D burns many Gb every time. After a week I
decided to give back computer with Vista. I'll buy it when it run ok.
