I installed Win Vista Beta2, and because I have 1.5G physical memory I turn
the virtual memory to 0MB. But when I use Win vista, the light of harddrive
keeping flashing, so I open task manager to see which task is reading or
writing. I find it's lsass.exe. Then I run "tasklist /svc" in cmd model, it
tell me lsass.exe means samSs service. so I want to stop the samSs service,
but windows tell me it's about Security Center, I can't stop it.

Now the question is, how can I stop the keeping reading and writing? It
makes my harddrive so hot even when I don't run any other programs.

Are you sure that it's lsass? Just because it's using the CPU doesn't mean that
it's doing anything with the hard drive, and I don't know of any program that
can actually tell you what is reading or writing to a drive. Is there anything
in taskmanager about defrag or defragntfs? That is likely what is doing stuff as
it automatically attempts to defrag the hard drive when it sees that it is needed.

I do have the same problem occasionally with Vista RC1. There is'nt any
program running (besides the loaded services) and the light of the harddisk
is keeping flashing and the harddisks Ticks like it would be locked. I don't
no what services is causing this.

Does anyone knows or has a solution?

Now I restart Vista and the problem is solved for a while and then its
returns (even when I am working in a program like IE7 or Media Player).

"hahah...." From your post "and because I have 1.5G physical memory I turn
the virtual memory to 0MB." Regardless of the amount of extended memory
Windows always utilizes virtual memory via the hard disk - reset memory and
select Windows to use virtual memory automatically.

� reset they memory and select Windows to use virtual memory automatically,
but this did'nt solve the problem. My harddisk is still ticking any
other solutions?
