Hard drive light almost constantly on even when sitting idle
I noticed my hard drive light is now almost constantly on, no matter
if nothing is running, with just the desktop showing. Doing CTL ALT DELETE I see all kinds of processes running, and tried to look them up doing google search, but can't find anything that I can recognize that might cause this. My laptop running the same XP Professional doesn't do that, when you stop running programs the hard drive activity light stops. How can I find out what is causing this and remove it from my system? I tried stopping various processes but am afraid to terminate too many for fear of what might happen. Would a list of the processes running in the Task Manager help in diagnosing this problem? I'd hate to have to do a complete re-install again, it takes days. Thanks. Jim |
