Thx, "Tiberius". I turned off search and ready boost. I look forward to
better performance.

Microsoft wants to convert your hard disk into dust.. don't worry!

Its improvements!!! LOL

Vista has several SERVICES that make the disk thrash like it has drank a
swimming pool full of coffee.

What are these services? Indexing (windows search),
Ready Boost, and defrag that is now automatic and has a stupid gui.

You can turn off indexing (windows search) and readyboost from
Control Panel> Administrative tools> services

disable those 2.

Windows still will be able to search the disk.. it just will not index it...

Make sure you organize your stuff and you wont have a problem.

Indexing is stupid, and a dying technology. MS did one more mistake by
including it,
turning it on by default, and not having a GUI way that is very apparent to
turn it off.
