I've got a harddisk activity stronger than activity at bootup. It starts may
be half an hour after boot. - I can only stop it with reeboot.

Vista (Ultimate) is working normaly and fine exept of this harddisk activity
noise.
Activity is although when i am away! When i'm comming back it stops(!) for a
few seconds.

My Board: Asus P5B Intel Core Duo, SATA
CPU usage 2-4%
RAM (2GB) usage 18-20%

File Indexing i already switcht off.
And i stoppt programms in tray.
I dit install all Windows updates exept of language packs.

Hi,

Could be the defragging routine as well.

Why did you turn the indexer off? Once it's done it's job, it makes
searching much faster. Plus, contrary to popular belief, it does not
interfere with normal operation of the machine, it runs as a low priority
task.

Low priority to the CPU not low priority to the disk subsystem. I could
not even see the reason for the disk io in task manager. with NCQ
enabled the disk doesn't know whats low priority.

Yes the constant chattering hard disk, drives me crazy too.

Cause it was the only answer i've found in internet for this Problem. Just
i wanted to exclude indexing as posibility.

I start defragging. I stops after a few seconds. So defragging is not the
problem.


Best of Luck,
I need. Because I think this Problem is not very popular. I found the
Problem sometimes in Internet, but no answer.

Hi,

somewhere i read, that harddisk activity will calm down after 2 days. So i
went away and let it run for some more hours.

It stopped.

Hopefully that it wont will return, thanks for help!

Shut down windows defender it's constantly searching the harddrive for
infections, also shutting down aero might help.

How did you turn it off? I didn't think there was an option to turn
it off. Best I could find was to remove some types of files from the
list of file types to index.
