Harddisk activity drives me crazy

I've got a harddisk activity stronger than activity at bootup. It starts may
be half an hour after boot. - I can only stop it with reeboot.

Vista (Ultimate) is working normaly and fine exept of this harddisk activity
noise.
Activity is although when i am away! When i'm comming back it stops(!) for a
few seconds.

My Board: Asus P5B Intel Core Duo, SATA
CPU usage 2-4%
RAM (2GB) usage 18-20%

File Indexing i already switcht off.
And i stoppt programms in tray.
I dit install all Windows updates exept of language packs.

Re: Harddisk activity drives me crazy

Hi,

Could be the defragging routine as well.

Why did you turn the indexer off? Once it's done it's job, it makes
searching much faster. Plus, contrary to popular belief, it does not
interfere with normal operation of the machine, it runs as a low priority
task.
