Win 7 HP/SP1 Hard Drive constant R/W

(1/3) > >>

Windows 7 Home Premium w/ SP1; 

For two (2) days now, the HD LED access annunciator is constantly "ON" or is flashing very rapidly.  According to System Explorer, there is no CPU problem (normal range of usage), System.exe is sporadic and there is very little actual data being read or written to HD.  :shocked:  I have turned-off the Network access to the internet with no change in HD access.  I have turned-off my ASC 5 with A/V Pro scanner with no change in HD access.  I have made sure that Drive Indexing is still off.  I have watched this LED for two and one-half days, now.   :thinking:

Any ideas you might have to locate and/or stop the process which is causing this constant drain on the reaction time of the system would be appreciated! :smiley:

Use the Windows 7 resource monitor, the disk monitor will show you what is using the drive :-)

Bubba Euler:
I had forgotten about that Windows Resource!  Thank you very much, Shane and have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Respectfully yours,

Shane:
Merry Christmas :-D

Bubba Euler:
Shane, according to my interpretation of the Resource Monitor, System Volume Information PID 4 (System) is causing the most R/W's.  Nothing else seems to cause changes as much as this does.  There's a long list of numbers which are all identical.  Hm?  This wasn't a problem 3 days ago.  Do you have a solution for this anomaly?
