Hello,
If you think it's not the indexer, my guess would be the automatic
defragger.
To confirm, you can check to see if defrag.exe is running in the task
manager when you click Show processes from all users.
To tell for sure what is causing the problem, you can use the new
performance monitor in vista:
- Click start
- Type: performance
- Click reliability and performance monitor
- Expand the disk section by clicking the down chevron next to it
Ignore the programs accessing files that start with a $, as these are system
processes doing NTFS bookkeeping.
