HI-MY C: DRIVE IS ALWAYS RUNNING,[NO SLAVE HARD DRIVE]. THAT IS TO SAY THE
DRIVE LIGHT COMES ON SHORTLY AFTER NO USER ACTIVITY AND IS CONSTANTLY ON. AS
SOON AS I TOUCH THE KEYBOARD OFF GOS THE LIGHT.
I CTRL ALT DELAND CLOSE ALL PROGRAMS TO NO EFFECT AND HAVE RUN SPY AND
VIRUS PROGRAMS.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN STOP THE HARD DISK WHEN THE COMPUTER IS ON
BUT NOT IN USE AS I HAVE THE FELLING THIS IS NOT GOOD LONG TERM FOR THE HARD
DRIVE. ALSO A ROUGE PROGRAM MAY BE ON THE DRIVE. ALL DISK CLEAN UP PROGRAMS
ARE OFF.
I AM INCLINED TO FORMAT THE DRIVE AND START AGAIN ?
THANKS WILLIAM
 
run chkdsk/r and defrag.

Also, look for HDD MFG website to download diagnostic software.

CAPS are consider Shouting. Please turn off in the future.

It might be the WinDuhs indexing service; if so, just turn it off. For more
help, click on Help and do some reading.
 
With your shouting no wonder it is running all the time - it is simply
trying to get away!

(Sorry - couldn't resist that one)
