I did an in place upgrade on an XP MCE machine and the HDD seems to runs all
the itme. It just doent stop. Other than that it seems fine but the drive
is driving me nuts ? Any ideas or should I go for a fresh install ?
 
Hello,

If you just did the upgrade, this is because Vista is indexing all of the
files on your computer, so you can search them faster. This may take a few
days, depending on the amount of files on your hard drive. After a few days,
this will stop.

In addition to the indexing service, it might be the disk defragmenter,
which is scheduled to run once a week.
You find it's setting if you type 'taskschd.msc' in the search box of the
start menu.
Under Microsoft/Windows/Defrag you double click "SchedueldDefrag" to change
it's schedule.
