Erratic mouse movement during disk activity

[Frank Hopwood]

It is a USB mouse. Device manager indicates no problems.
System information (WinXP) indicates DMA is enabled for
the IDE controller. My drives are in a Raid 1
configuration, but I don't see why that should matter.
I've looked in the CMOS to see if anything applies, but no
indication.
