Dear people,

I've been having some trouble with my Windows Vista. Everything works well
with it except one thing truly disturbs me. Let's say I leave my computer
without any program active. (My virusscanner only scans when I tell it too)
and there are no other background scanners working. When I leave my computer
at Idle my hard-drive keeps on processing things of which I have no clue what
they are. Does anyone maybe have a solution for this ?

Maybe it's handy to know that I do use 2 hard-drives. So maybe it's indexing
? cause they are 160 Gigs and 250 Gigs big.

Thank you kindly,

Bryan
 
Yes, it is indexing. It only does it when the PC is idle. Once it is done,
the HD activity slows down.
 
Could also be defragmenting.

Hi Bryan,

I have noticed this also I have 1 x 200 Gig drive and 2 x 250 Gig drives.

I have switched off indexing and the activity has stopped.
