I built a new system and put xp home on it. This is my first experience
with XP. Compared to my other with 98SE, the HD light "seems" to flicker
at lot more frequently than I was accustomed to seeing with 98. I don't
think I have all that much loaded at start up [one of the reasons I
built mine rather than off the shelf stuff].

This is not heavy, sustained access; more like flickers of an irregular
pulse, if you get my meaning.

Is this normal for XP?
