Constant hard disk activity on M1330

I clean installed my XPS M1330. I also applied all the Vista tweaks mentioned in the forum by flamenko. The problem that I am facing is that the hard disk light is glowing after every second periodically and making light tweaking sound every time. I have disabled search indexing for all drives. Anybody having same problem ? Any solution ? Thanks in advance.

Btw this problem had stopped after disabling indexing before clean installing Vista.

 

Then why did you still made this post..?

 

I think planet_vikram is saying that before the format, disabling the index service made the activity stop.

But after the format, disabling the index service doesn't help.

 

To sucker in people who don't read the original post properly!

 

My guess is that Storm's native language is not English since his location is the Netherlands. I wish I were able to communicate well enough in a second language to use it while posting on a forums.

 

Lol ....Any solution ?

 

Sorry vikram, forgot what I had to say to you: check your processes and see what's going on there. Also, if you haven't already, you might want to run malware scans.

 

Do u mean running anti-spyware software like spybot.

One more question to u all....how CCleaner software ? any performance degradation after using it as someone had mentioned in some other post.....

 

Ah, got it. I misread your initial post, sorry, my bad.

Checking you're ongoing processes like BMWRob suggests would be the first thing to do. Open your task manager and then the source-control through the performance tab, open up the HDD tab and then you should be able to see what is going on. If that leaves you only with more questions please get back to us

 

Do you get the problem when the power cable is plugged in or is hooked up to an external monitor? When i have this it seems to constantly run...but when i just run off battery it doesnt flash at all. So see if it stops when your just running with the battery.

 

Yes, I did mean apps like Spybot, Adaware, etc, but also whatever antivirus program you use.

IMHO, CCleaner is an excellent program. I suppose, as is so often brought up, that any app which can affect your Registry can cause problems. However, in my own humble experience, I've never had any problems with CCleaner. I think it's a great app.
