Hard drive thrashing - Windows XP Home
I've recently installed Windows XP Home on a partitioned hard drive.
The C: Drive (which contains the operating system) is about 10GB, and the D: Drive is about 18GB. I have the most horrendous case of hard drive thrashing that I've ever come across. It's particularly bad whenever I open up an Internet Explorer 8 webpage, even if that page is simply sitting idle. I confirmed this when I downloaded and ran "Process Explorer". I don't have Norton installed on my system, and I've defragged both my C: and D: Drives, as well as cleaning out all temp folders. I recently followed these instructions: http://bucarotechelp.com/computers/w...s/95021801.asp But still this problem of thrashing continues. It's got so bad my system freezes (or comes very close to it). Please help! |
