HD Light is active even when nothing is going on.

Tunr on my system and just leave it there w/ the desktop. Pretty much killed all exe except the few essential one like nVidia, avg etc. Even hough I got nothing running, the HD Led keep on flashing even as if it loading something.

I recently switched my Pwr LED wire to my HD connector; the original HD LED is barely any good. Since the switch, the brighter Pwr LED, now HD LED, is constantly active-flashing, strobing etc.

So is that normal?

Wait, what's that?

Well, I have not register the OS yet if that mean anything.

[Lespaul20]

If you go in the properties on your hard drive in My computer at the very bottom there is a check box for indexing.

Index creates a faster way to search your drive.

[Ahura]

So if I uncheck the box, then that would mean......?

[Lespaul20]

If you search for files it may be slower.

Oh, hmm...


OK.....I just try that and I got several warning of how some of the folders won't let the system to change them. I had to Ignore them.
