Hi,I have a 13 month old p4 2.45 with XP home. It has
just had to have it's hardrive replaced. All is now well
except that I can hear it every 5 to 10 sec acessing the
harddrive. I have used msconfig to try to identify what
process/service or program that is doing this, but cannot
identify. Firstly is this read write ok ? or am I on the
way to another harddrive. If not any hints how I can find
the culpert.I have McAfee virus software running.
Thaks in advance.

Open Control Panel and click on the FIND FAST applet.
If there are items there, delete them. Click INDEX|CLOSE & STOP...
and see if this makes a difference.
