Whats using my HDD so much?

[ovia]

Hi all

Can anyone help me out here please?

I have recently installed Vista on a raid 0 36Gb Raptors.

Now something is using my HDD all the time which is getting really noisey and really annoying.



Can anyone tell me what is causing this to happen?

Thanks

I am aware about the 8800 and raptor issue. The issue is with the 150GB Raptors, not the others that I am aware of (waits to get home to check). Will post a link later/tomorrow when i get back home as i dont have it here in work.

Thankfully i dont have the the ICH9R motherboard, have the new 780i board so should be ok on that part.

Seems like Vista Disk Indexing is the cause as its starting to settle down now Thanks for that. If it was to carry on i was getting very tempted to install on a new hard drive and not run raid it was getting that bad.

I have also noticed that Vista is taking a lot of space up. With all the updates (bar 1 which wont install) it is taking up 45Gb of information . This is with basic programmes such as firewall and anti-virus on it. Games, photo software etc are all based on a seperate HDD.

I have already killed system restore, but how do you disable indexing?

And thanks for all yoru help, been very useful
