Vista - Hard disk access non stop on new Vist Home Premium 64 bit

11-02-2008

New machine, new install, and the hard disk access light is on alsmost solid
100% of the time, even if I go away for a while.
This is unacceptable and makes no sense.
The disk will be fried in a year.

Whay does it do this and my laptop does not, even though the access is
periodic and often, it's not 100% hammering the disk.
