HDD Crunching

So its a relativly new system running vista business. I boot the machine up, then after its fully loaded and everything is just sitting idle, i can hear the HDD writing or reading, and ive no idea wth its doing. Ive got updates turned off, so it cant be that, besides that ive no idea what its continuing to write / read. I took a screenshot of the management to see if you guys have any clue

It proberbly be Vista indexing - (I think that what it is called) the drive, give Vista a little while it will sort it self out, there are a few threads around in the Windows forum.

What RJC said. Perfectly normal for a new install. Give it a couple of days
