Hard Drive active when not using
Can anyone explain why my hard drive light shows hard drive activity even though I'm not doing anything? I am running 2000 and connected to the internet but not into any programs. It doesn't seem to happen with my xp machine.
Thanks |

There are lots of programs that will work in the background even if you are not doing anything. Are you running a firewall and an up to date antivirus on the machine to ensure you are not getting any unwanted activity?

It might be programs running in the background. But I suggest you must do a virus and spyware scan immediately.
