disk thrashing in Vista - why
I got a used PC with Vista 32-bit. For 5 minutes after Windows
starts, the disk is going 90 to the dozen. I have others with Windows XP and Windows 7 that settle down quickly. I checked what startup programs are run with Hijack This, and there is sweet FA. It is pretty much a bare-bones installation, althought it has all updates applied. So what is Vista doing with the disk? Hardware is Core 2 Duo 3 GHz with 4 GiB of DDR2-667 and disk is SATA 300. |
