Hi folks, I have this problem. I installed my brand new Vista Business (I

used to have XP Pro Ent.), and ever since I installed the new Windows, my

disc keeps on going the seeking noise and the HDD LED is up all the time.

Didn't matter if I was actually doing something or the computer is idle, the

situation never changes. Please let me know if you had the same prob or know

how to solve that. Thanks a million. Pave

    It's normal for a HDD in a Vista machine to be quite active especially soon

    after the initial install. This is mostly the indexing service indexing all

    your files/emails etc. and when that is complete the activity will be

    greatly reduced but expect that there will always be some degree of

    activity. If you go into the Indexing Options in the Control Panel you can

    see if it is still indexing the files. It will say "Indexing complete" and

    list the number of indexed items.

    The disk defragmenter will run when it determines the system is idle. Add

    new files, the defragmenter will go to work.
